Looks OK to me. There's no change in font when I click
the text and change it.

Oops, you really need to update your source of information.
I can hardly remember the time when Adobe shipped with the
so called "Base14 fonts". (FYI: Adobe hasn't special cased
these fonts since Acrobat 4.) Read more about it here:

iText only ships the AFM files (the Adobe Font Metrics) that are
necessary to calculate stuff like the width of words and sentences.
You have to buy the font from Adobe and use that font program if
you want to embed Helvetica. As explained by Leonard in the
mailing list answer you'll find using the above link.
