Most responses to this query seem to be addressing a different question.
Susan, you can find "almost identical" substitutes for most fonts in the
TrueType category. Instead of Helvetica, use Arial (standard with
Windows); instead of Palatino, use Book Antiqua (available in a
Microsoft TT font pack). Not sure about Geneva, but you could use a
search engine to track down font substitution lists etc.
