I install the Lyx editor recently and while reading the documents
included with the editor, I got warnings of the following nature

Couldn't load font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-23-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Using fixed...
Couldn't load font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-35-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Using fixed...    

Looking in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*/fonts.dir one finds that indeed
those two font styles are not in the standard distribution.

The questions that then come to mind are:

   1. Why then would the authors of Lyx use them?

   2. And since they do where did they get them?

I'm running Lyx-stable, FreeBSD-current and XFree86 3.2.

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts contains:
    100dpi
     75dpi
       PEX
      misc

Thanks for your help,
