That's the traditional ``Laserwriter Gang of 35'' which were enshrined 
as a standard when Apple selected them for inclusion in the 
Laserwriter.

The core 13 fonts for Adobe Acrobat is a bit more complex since they 
started out as a subset of the above:

Times, Helvetica, Courier (four weights / styles each) and Symbol

and then around Adobe Acrobat 4's release, Adobe got tired of paying 
royalties to Linotype and lowered their price point by substituting the 
Monotype fonts Times New Roman PS MT and Arial MT.
