Hi Jaime,

I'm not sure, with your comment about installation, if this is what you
are asking for, but I use

# ethereal -m
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-p-46-iso8859-1&

The font name must appear after the -m flag and must be one exactly
reported by xlsfonts.

Hope this helps.
Scott
