I think I've tracked down where that font came from. It
seems to be compiled in to the source code for Doxygen in
order to get spat out by the LaTeX backend for the sole
purpose of generating LaTeX files. I can only presume that
it was knocked together for this sole purpose and hence was
never designed to be used as a general-purpose font.

Acrobat and GhostScript will have their own internal fonts
which they will use when asked for a font called 'Helvetica'
since it is pretty much a part of the PostScript spec. I
don't know about OpenOffice but I really doubt that it is
using this font.

Does the Inkscape UI (text & font dialog) actually offer
'Helvetica' as an option?
