I am not the best in font stuff, so some of the following questions
might be foolish.
- These fonts are not postscript versions of CM fonts, but separate font
families, correct? These fonts are not included in tetex, but have
been installed by you? Or is this just Adobe's Helvetica or URW
Helvetica or something else included in tetex?
- How did you install these fonts? Which entries under /etc/ did you
make, which commands where called?
- In your test document, you only use text fonts of \familydefault phv,
but you declare a lot of other things. Does the following smaller
document also produce the problems on your system? On my system, both
version use postscript fonts with dvipdfm.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{phv}
\begin{document}
I work at Oc\'e{}.
\end{document}
- Which map entries are in your /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config? If you didn't
change the original file, is should be at the end and only say
% Font map files; maintained by updmap(1)
f dvipdfm.map
If you changed it, please give us the whole file.
- Is /etc/texmf/dvips/dvipdfm.map a symlink, and where does it point to?
What is the output of
grep phvr8r /etc/texmf/dvips/dvipdfm.map
- What is the output of
egrep -v '^#|^$' /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
Now some more remarks:

On my system they don't look bitmapped. I also do not get the dvipdfm warnings.

$ locate cmr.map
/etc/texmf/pdftex/context/il2-ams-cmr.map
/etc/texmf/pdftex/context/original-ams-cmr.map
/etc/texmf/pdftex/context/pl0-ams-cmr.map
hm, this doesn't seem to apply to dvipdfm. Still it does not warn (no
psbase14.map or lw35urw.map are on my system).

Here mine says:
[1<phvr7t@11.96pt(TFM:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/helvetic/phvr7t.tfm)(VF:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/vf/adobe/helvetic/phvr7t.vf(TFM:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/helvetic/phvr8r.tfm)<phvr8r@11.96pt
fontmap: phvr8r -> Helvetica(8r)
