The helvet options (which uses the helvet.sty package) does only one
thing: change the sans-serif font to be helvetica instead of computer
modern sans serif. So it does not really helps you. I know it's
stupid, but it is how things are right now...
However, there is a solution: add
\renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}
in Layout->LaTeX_Preamble. This will not change the disaply on screen
but should be corretc for xdvi/paper.
It would not be too difficult to make a patent style that does that
and gives correct display (especially if a latex document class for
that eixsts).
