 I should say that if /usr/share/nautilus/fonts/urw is absent and if helvetica
(or probably even if urw-helvetica) is absent in fontpath, Nau will crash at
startup (at least 2 persons reported that, and they seem to have such setup).
For some reason Nau looks for its own URW fonts first, and failing to find
ones, tries to use ones in fontpath.

 There is a little problem: no helvetica Type1 fonts are not shipped with
XFree, though RedHat since RH6.2 ships URW fonts under normal names (e.g.
Helvetica instead of Nimbus SansL) and puts them in X fontpath by default.

But anyway, Nau should start searching in X font path first IMO, at least if
locale's charset is different from iso8859-1.
