Just to expand on Lisa's point for those who aren't familiar with it, the issue is that online help formats don't embed fonts into the help system - instead, they just use the fonts that already exist on the user's computer. This poses a problem if you want to use fonts that don't come with Windows, Mac OS, or whatever platform it is your application runs on, because you can't guarantee the user will have the font you specify. If they don't have it, the help system reverts to whatever the default font is for the system.
For this reason, it's best to use fonts that are included by default with the OS - on the Windows side, this would include fonts like Verdana, Arial, and Times New Roman, and on the Mac side it would include Helvetica, Geneva, and Times (I think - it's been many moons since I've used a Mac so I may have a few mistakes in there). Of course, if your application installs a font on the user's system, then you can safely use that font as well.
