You can try this

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage{txfonts}          % comment un-comment this
\renewcommand{\sfdefault}{phv}% 4 lines to see you get the
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ptm}% same text result with and w/o
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr}% them, but \epsilon is right

\begin{document}

abc {\sf abc} {\tt abc} \quad $\epsilon$ \quad $\varepsilon$

\end{document}

Best,
