This still means you have a bogus font somewhere.  Apparently
something is wrong with the largest Helvetica font that you have.  To
find out more about what bad font you are getting, use the -debug flag
to xboard, ask for a size bigger than middling, and look for the
"resolved" lines, similar to this:

resolved -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* at pixel size 34
  to -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1
resolved -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* at pixel size 14
  to -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1
resolved -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* at pixel size 14
  to -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1

By...the...way.....you...don't.......have....to...put......all...those...
periods.......in...your...messages......  :-)
