Not with the font server. Is the "Use antialiased fonts" option switched on in 
KDE? If so, that explains it all. KDE uses fonts that are EITHER provided by 
the font server OR by the xft mechanism ( that is responsible for antialiased 
fonts ), BUT NOT BOTH. You should have added a directory containing your 
helvetica font files, to /etc/fonts/local.conf.
It also seems probable that you /etc/fonts/fonts.conf is a bit incorrect. 
Generally, it should provide an alias for non-existing fonts. In your case, 
there was no alias defined or it was defined erroneously, so xft just used a 
FIRST font in its list.

By definition. Xfs just isn't used by KDE at all.

How much fonts are shown when running fc-list? And what is the first entry of 
this list? I bet that it is the same "Beast smth" font you've seen in 
Konqueror.
