Hi John, Pedro,

Where (in what file) are you defining this yaml when you get your Helvetica 
result? Are you adding this yaml to your .md file? Or some other file? How 
are you calling it and with what arg?
---
fontfamily: helvet
...

I've tried passing it in as *-d* (which it apparently isn't, based on 
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#default-files)
I've tried using *--metadata-file* (which it perhaps isn't and appears to 
ignore https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--metadata-file)
I've tried passing it in as a sequential yaml file per 
(https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block)
And I earlier tried the straight argument without the yaml, *-V 
fontfamily=helvet*

None of them work. I still don't get Helvetica.

Thanks for any help!
