The same command for me returned:
Your font also looks different from my "Helvetica-Bold". I tried the same command, but with "Helvetica-BoldOblique" and got this image:

This looks more like your font, but still has the same problem.
I use version
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.8-10 Q16 x86_64 2014-04-01
http://www.imagemagick.org
on the OS
CentOS release 5.10 (Final)
Any idea what may cause the difference?
Edit:
I compared the -list configure output from the working and the non working installation.

The one thing I noticed was that in the delegates of the non-working installation, "fontconfig" is missing. Could that explain a weird font sizing? I tried to find out what exactly fontconfig is, but to me it seemed that it's only for finding installed fonts, not displaying them.
