Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-*-*
Aha. That matches a whole slew of fonts on my (Ubuntu 11.10) desktop
$ xlsfonts -fn '-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-*-*' | wc -l
186
But the first ones that it matches might not support the character set
you want.
$ xlsfonts -fn '-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-*-*' | head

You probably want
-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-75-*-c-*-iso8859-1
or
-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-120-100-*-c-*-iso8859-1
depending on the resolution of your monitor.
You can use xfontsel to play with the specification string and preview
the font that you'll get.
