Do you have the command line tools fc-list and fc-match installed? Is
there any output of fonts with fc-list? Is there any output with
fc-match? And with "fc-match helvetica"? Maybe you can try to use some
other font, e.g.

        perl -Mblib -MTk -e 'tkinit->Label(-text => "hello, world")->pack;MainLoop' -- -font '{Bitstream Vera Sans} 10'
