When you specified no font for Emacs (no "-fn" argument nor
X resource), Emacs uses one of the followings:

-adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
fixed

In my case, the first matches with this font:
  -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1
and Emacs surely uses that font.

I have no idea why Emacs uses -adove-helvetica-...

Please start Emacs under gdb as this (in src/emacs directory):
% gdb emacs
(gdb) br x_default_font_parameter
(gdb) run -q

And, when the execution stops at x_default_font_parameter,
step programs by "n" command, and check the return value of
font_open_by_name by the command "pp font".
