It might be a fontconfig problem. Take a look in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf for a
line like
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
This will automatically include subdirectories - but you might find its not
there or it already includes some subdirectories but not others (hence
loosing you Helvetica font).
Change it to the above and then run fc-cache -f as root.
