You probably want to have a look at the following few commands:

fc-list|grep -i helvetica (does fontconfig know about a helvetiva font?)
fc-match -v "whatever you plugin to gtk2 program font configuration"
(e.g. helvetica) (what transformations are done on a request for
helvetica)

Changes to ~/.fonts.conf to affect AA or whatnot will be reflected in
the little values displayed by fc-match -v.
