The Math fonts will still be used for operator and bracketing characters,
unless you explicitly specify otherwise.
Compare the PostScript outputs in the following examples:
Plot[x^2 - 5, {x, -3, 3}, Epilog ->
Text["f(x) = \!\(x\^2\) - 5", {1.5, 2}],
TextStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Helvetica"}]
Plot[x^2 - 5, {x, -3, 3}, Epilog ->
Text["f(x) = \!\(x\^2\) - 5", {1.5, 2}],
TextStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Helvetica",
PrivateFontOptions -> {"OperatorSubstitution" ->
False}}]
The aggregate option PrivateFontOptions -> {"OperatorSubstitution" ->
False} prevents the parentheses and minus sign from being drawn using
Math1 and Math2.
