Oops, I meant the /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf symbolic link.

This is also fine with inkscape 0.48.5-3 on a Debian/jessie machine,
where I also get:

$ fc-match Helvetica
texgyreheros-regular.otf: "TeX Gyre Heros" "Regular"

(with or without my ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf file).

I've now found how to reproduce the bug: remove the
/etc/fonts/70-no-bitmaps.conf file, so that one gets:

$ fc-match Helvetica
helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular"

I cannot reproduce the bug on a new machine with inkscape 0.91-12,
i.e. the SVG file looks fine in inkscape, whether I use my
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf file or not.

In case this matters, I now have:

$ fc-match Helvetica
texgyreheros-regular.otf: "TeX Gyre Heros" "Regular"

If I remove the fonts-texgyre package, I get:

$ fc-match Helvetica
qhvr.pfb: "TeXGyreHeros" "Regular"

and the SVG file is still OK in inkscape.

So, either this has been fixed in inkscape, or something significant
has changed on the system (e.g. in fontconfig). I suppose that this
bug should be closed.
