Do these XLFDs:

indicate scalable fonts? xlsfonts lists them, but I haven't found those XLFDs in any fonts.scale or even fonts.dir.
Yes. The Linux X servers handle type1 fonts natively.
They're probably in /usr/share/fonts/Type1 or somewhere like that -
but they should be listed in the fonts.dir there. (They're not in
mine, because my distribution has bitmapped helvetica fonts.)
Or maybe recent servers don't even need a font dir.
Alternatively, you may have a font server (xfs) running, which is picking up Type1 fonts from somewhere and making them available to the X server.
Have a look at your font path.
