You are probably running with an X font path that does not include the 
75-dpi fonts, or you haven't installed the 75-dpi fonts.  I do this too.

The fonts in the blt demos are "overspecified" in that they include BOTH a 
point size (120 or 12.0 point) AND a pixel size (12).
ONLY will match a very specific font

Just edit the demo programs, search for all occurences of the word "font" 
and for each overspecified font change the pixel size to an "*" (for 
example where you find:
        *-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal-*-12-120-*
in the code change it to:
        *-Helvetica-Bold-R-Normal-*-*-120-*
