Don't put it in the preamble, all you need to do is put it in the
document layout.
Menu: Layout -> Document
gives a window.
Pick the Document tab.
Select, from the Fonts: menu
times
or
pslatex
and your default fonts will be the ones most portable for PDF -- Times,
Helvetica, Courier.
If you want something which will produce decent PDF, the trick is, you
have to be using Postscript Type1 fonts, *not* TeX Metafont. If you
use Metafont, when the document is translated into PDF, the font will
become an ugly bitmapped fonts, wheras (if you have a version of
Ghostscript higher than 5.50) with a Type1 font, a non-default font will
be translated into an outline, which looks nicer than a bitmap.
