Yep, I do have this from xfonts-100dpi:
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helvO12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz

Not really. The closest that I have are these:

$ xlsfonts -fn '*helvetica*' | grep adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-- | grep
iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-p-56-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-p-56-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-76-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-p-76-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-1
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-1

-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-p-130-iso8859-1

Uhm, your SVG does specify the glyphs quite differently. You have glyphs
specified as a list of rectangles (with an obvious bug that shouldn't matter
here, but that I just fixed) while in my SVG, glyphs are specified as paths. So
yeah, cairo definitely isn't using a bitmap font here.
