Helvetica-Narrow is not one of the pdf core fonts. I suspect that the matplotlib font selection system is matching your specification of Helvetica with Helvetica-Narrow because it is available on your system and its name begins with "Helvetica". This must be a bug. I don't have time to investigate now, so unless someone else has any comments, I suggest filing this on the sourceforge tracker. -- Jouni K.
