That's all right.  Since all the characters I ever need are in the
Helvetica font, and since The Mathematica Book says on page 1222

	"The style specified by TextStyle in a graphics object is
	used by default for *all* text, including labels and tick
	marks"

I can just use, for example,

	Plot[ x^2-5,  {x, -3, 3}, TextStyle->{ FontFamily->"Helvetica"} ]

and maybe, as belt and suspenders,

	PlotLabel->StyleForm[ "R1 = 30%, R2-->0%", FontFamily->"Helvetica" ]

Right?
