how can i see if a font is a bitmap or a truetype?
If it offers all sizes instead of only a few ones, it's truetype. If not, it's bitmap.
I don't think a truetype version of Helvetica is in any portage package. You will have to grab the font from somewhere else and install it manually. If you're using KDE, you can do that with its font installer.
There's a clone of Helvetica though in the media-fonts/liberation-fonts package. It's recreation of Helvetica, Times and Courier with a "free" license. I prefer the original though; it's easy to get it if you can use Google.
