What is the exact difference that you worry about? I don't think that anything apart from fixing the straight quotation mark and grave accent should have changed in the BDF version of Helvetica, if that is what you use. The quotation mark issue is explained on: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html In any case, you can always extract the old BDFs from X11R6.4 on ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/R6.4/xc/fonts/bdf/.
