I believe that this may be due to the fact that the front end is configued
to substitute Helvetica for Impact. You can adjust this by doing the
following:
1) Click on the front end command sequence:
Edit -> Preferences...
This will summon the Option Inspector dialog.
2) Set the scope indicator at the top of the dialog to "global" if it does
not already say so.
3) Type the keyword "FontSubstitutions" in the Lookup line and click on
the Lookup button. This should expose the option FontSubstitutions.
4) Click on the button to the right of the option list. This produces
another dialog box.
5) Scroll through the dialog until you find the word Impact. Click on
this word, and hit the Remove button.
6) Dismiss this dialog by clicking OK. Now close the Option Inspector
dialog.
7) Reevaluate your graphics-generating command. The text will now be
rendered with the Impact font.
