It's easy to use a postscript font (like helvetica) for the text of a
LATEX document. What's harder is using the same font for maths - the font will lack many of the special characters required for maths.
An easy, reasonable option is to use the mathptmx package to
put the maths into the postscript Times and symbol fonts where
possible.
Alternatively, use
- the mathpazo package (loads Palatino as the text font family and a
mixture of the Pazo and CM fonts for math).
- the mathpple package (loads Palatino as the text font family and a
mixture of artificially obliqued Euler fonts
and CM fonts for math).
Commercial and free alternatives are under development. See Stephen G. Hartke's
A Survey of Free Math Fonts for TeX and LaTeX
for details.
