You probably want to read about fontconfig and it's various utilities - 
fc-match, etc.

You likely don't, but perhaps find a better match.  The preferred 
provider I believe is currently:

$ fc-match 'Helvetica LT Std'
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

Install dejavu-sans-fonts if you don't already have it.  You might also 
search around for 'msttcorefonts' - not sure what MS fonts were provided 
in that old thing.
