I'd be curious to see the output of the following:

grep FontPath /etc/X11/XF86Config
ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs
cat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config
grep helv /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.*

For my machine, vanilla RH6, with the problem, I've got this:

nowhere:~> grep FontPath /etc/X11/XF86Config
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
FontPath "unix/:-1"
FontPath "/usr/local/share/AbiSuite/fonts"
nowhere:~> ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 391872 Apr 18 16:33 /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs
