On the UNIX machine that I use, there is a nifty program called
'dvi2ps', which converts TeX's Computer Modern fonts to the PS
font of your choice.  All you have to do is have the following
in your input file:

\font\helvetica=PS-Helvetica scaled 1200 	(for example)
\helvetica

My problem is that I use LaTeX, rather than TeX, and with LaTeX it won't work
globally.  Does anyone know how to make LaTeX change fonts globally
without modification of the *.sty files (i.e., within your own
input file)?

			Thanks,

			-Yvonne
