You can set the font via the <FONT> tag.

The PDF standard incudes a "base14" set of fonts, consisting of 5 font 
families (Courier, Helvetica, Times, Symbol, and ZapfDingbats) with 4 
varieties (plain, bold, italic, bold-italic) for the first three families.

You can add your own TTF fonts by setting the appropriate PFFONT_xxxx 
environment variables.
