Method 1:

Install the Helvetica that comes with Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.x for Windows:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/3.x/ar302.exe

HVBO____.PFB
HVB_____.PFB
HVO_____.PFB
HV______.PFB

Get the AFM files here:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles/900-960/950/

Convert all of the file names to ALL LOWER CASE before installing.

Method 2:

Make the needed entry in: "/etc/fonts/local.conf" so that FontConfig 
will use: "Nimbus Sans L" in place of Helvetica (that is the URW clone 
of Helvetica that comes with GhostScript).

Method 3:

Change the appropriate default CSS.
