not "grep file", thats not what I wrote.

1) make sure you have the package installed.
2) run 
    fc-match -v helvetica | grep antialias
3) check output.

Your output should either be;
        antialias: FcTrue(w)
or it is different.
If it is the FcTrue one, then fontconfig is reporting the bitmap font to be antialiased.  Something that is impossible for a bitmap font so 
the font is announced to fontconfig incorrectly.

Just FYI; here is the full output of fc-match (without the limiting grep)

$fc-match -v Helvetica
