Many Linux distribution no longer carry the legacy Helvetica fonts.
You can test this with the Linux command > xlsfonts

An example is Windows Subsystem Linux.

To fix this you should also download the drawx_wsl.c file. Remove the original drawx.c and rename drawx_wsl.c to drawx.c. (e.g. mv drawx_wsl.c drawx.c

Compile as normal and things should work fine.

The drawx_wsl.c version uses the font "7x14" which is present on WSL systems. Not as pretty as Helvetica - but works!
