Probably, you are missing Type1 fonts for Helvetica and Courier.  They 
don't usually come with a Linux distro.

NOTE: these fonts *do* come with XFree86 but they are bit mapped versions.

Try some of the fonts in:

/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1

and see if they work.
