gv requires ghostscript which requires ghostscript-fonts-other and 
urw-base35-fonts which should provide a fallback from Helvetica to Nimbus.
Perhaps for older apps and documents urw-base35-fonts-legacy could or 
should (also) be included?
Could that solve the problem, or would it still require 
xorg-x11-fonts-dpi{75,100)?
