When I look at the metric file it says "HelveticaCyr", not "Helvetica", which might indicate an east-european variant of Helvetica in a different encoding. I assume FOP can't deal with that kind of font, yet, and handles it wrong. I think the best alternative for you would be to find out whether there's a TrueType variant of the font.
