Hi TeXperts!

I am attempting to generate latex output in Helvetica on a Postscript
printer.  I accomplish this by using a a .sty file which redefines
\rm, \it, \sl, and \bf.  This works fine, except when I do a footnote.
The physical footnote size is the same as the body.  Also, the
footnote numbers are coming out in cmr.  I can manually fix up the
wrong size with "\font\footnotesize=helvetica at 8pt".  However,
nothing I do gets rid of the cmr numbers.

Can some kind soul point out where I've gone astray?

Thanks,

Bruno.
