Think it is also possible to instruct fontconfig not to antialias for particular fonts and sizes, but I doubt you've deliberately done that. Er. Mind you, on my system, the only font actually *called* "Helvetica" is the bitmap font that IIRC ships with x.org. But quite a few people have a "Helvetica" outline font (sometimes of dubious legality). I had assumed you had an outline helvetica... So.... just to cross-check - what does fc-list : family scalable | grep -i helvetica now return for you?
