I assume in the Document Layout[1] the "Fonts:" selection of helvet is short for helvetica. Is this correct?
Yes it is.
I also thought that helvetica was be definition a San Serif font... but when I change the "Fonts:" selection to helvet (apply) and view DVI I am still seeing serifs.
Choosing helvet, effects that the sans serif font family (sf) is set to the font "phv", using the command
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}But "normal" text is set in the font family "roman" (rm) often with serifs.
To get a sans serif font, you can mark the whole text of your document and change it to sans serif, or better, define helvetica as roman in the preamble using the command:
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{phv}regards Uwe
