I agree, this dredged up some bad memories of X fonts and font
servers.
on my f32 system with the X font packages installed, I don't see a
size 12 font:
$ xlsfonts |grep helvetica-medium-r-normal
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-p-56-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-76-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-p-100-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-p-130-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso8859-1
So, I suspect the config for the HP48 emulator (another old memory,
RPN rocks!) has a size 12 font set someplace.

Thank you very much Sir! Your message has helped me resolve this issue. I changed the 12
to 11 and voila it worked!

My sister bought me an HP48G with RPN in 1993 and I have it at home, but I like to have it
run virtually and now thanks to your suggestion, I got it working :)
