In the past decade, enabling bitmap is as easy as linking

I don't know what 70-force-bitmaps.conf does though
Oh, I used it on Debian and Ubuntu so I thought it were part of fontconfig
project. I included it in the end of this email†.
you could check some steps to see why it doesn't appear on your box.
First, you can see with fc-cache -v if the targeted directory is
scanned by fontconfig and fonts are cached properly.
It looks normal:
$ fc-cache -v | grep 100
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi: skipping, existing cache is valid: 0 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi is the directory where helvetica is:
$ du -c /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helv* | tail
8 /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helvR24-ISO8859-2.pcf.gz
8 /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helvR24-ISO8859-3.pcf.gz
8 /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helvR24-ISO8859-4.pcf.gz
8 /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/helvR24-ISO8859-9.pcf.gz
1544 total
if not at this
stage, you may need to update your conf to get it cached. otherwise
some config might be wrong. it works for me at least:
$ fc-match -f '%{family}: %{file}\n' helvetica
Helvetica: /usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvR08.pcf.gz
Not for me:
$ fc-match -f '%{family}: %{file}\n' helvetica
TeX Gyre Heros: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyreheros-regular.otf
What OS are you using? I'm thinking this is a Debian/Ubuntu specific problem.
† about 70-force-bitmaps.conf
$ cat /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-force-bitmaps.conf
