This was really my fault, sometime ago I did write a fallback font loader, 
which tries some fonts before giving up, but when wrote the BugPane class 
(0.5.x) I forgot to use it, it'll use it in 0.5.2.

If you find that the selection of fallbacks in global.cc 
(global::loadFont) isn't satisfactory, suggest more.

But I believe that systems where

f=gdk_font_load("helvetica");

fails do deserve an error message.
