These font packages we use for now are really lame. It is in fact
better to do things by hand in the preamble (in fact, using the
helvetica setting changes the sans-serif font to helvetica).
If you want to change the default roman font to helvetica, add
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{phv}
to your latex preamble.
