Broken fonts

From Arnout Engelen

This problem is fixed: there were some packages that were 'kept back' during my previous apt-get upgrade, installing them somehow fixed the issue.

[edit] Problem description

When Ion starts up, I get: 

Ion startup error log:
>> Could not load font "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*", trying "fixed"
>> Failed to load fallback font.
>> Stack trace:
   0 [C]: in 'defstyle'
   1 /etc/X11/ion3/look.lua:14
     [Skipping unnamed C functions.]
...

But: 

xfontsel -pattern -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Does find 30 matches, and 

xlsfonts | grep -- -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

finds 16.
