So, on your system where:
- xfonts-100dpi is not installed
- gsfonts-x11 is installed
- xterm uses Helvetica with: -fn
'-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
What do you get from:
find /usr -name '*helvB18*'
find /usr -name fonts.dir | xargs grep -i 'helvetica-bold-r-.*180'
And of the matched font files, what packages are they from? E.g.:
% apt-file search /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helvB18.pcf.gz
xfonts-100dpi: /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helvB18.pcf.gz
