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.
