Who experiences this problem can use the following workaround as described in 
the source bugreport:
Add to ~/.config/fonts.conf the following section before the "</fontconfig>" 
tag:

<match target="pattern">
 <test name="family">
  <string>Helvetica</string>
 </test>
 <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="same">
  <string>NimbusSansL</string>
 </edit>
</match>

A real fix for the original problem however is likely a change of the Ubuntu 
trusty default fontconfig config (package: fontconfig-config) or an update to 
the font renderer. (Quoting 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-gyre/+bug/1317599/comments/8:
"Ideally, renderers would notice that the glyph name they want is unavailable 
and look for alternate names.")
