In this case I think you're missing a hyphen.  Try

titlefont = '-Adobe-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal--*-180-*'

Thanks for the suggestion, but xlsfonts returns the same eight font files
regardless of whether the hyphen is there or not. (I wouldn't expect
otherwise, since the font matching treats * as a text wildcard and will
let it cross field boundaries.)

Bother.  It was a lovely theory, but I should have read the man page first.
