TeXworks is only a graphical front-end, it does not alter PDF files (or
typeset .tex files, for that matter - pdfLaTeX does that).

To my knowledge, Helvetica and Courier are not used by LaTeX by default.
So unless you used some special font packages or something, I would
guess that most likely the unembedded fonts come from figures you
include. If that is the case, please search for how to embed fonts in
whichever program you used to create your figures.

As a starting point, I suggest a web-search for "embed fonts in pdf". I
got, for example:
https://zauner.nllk.net/post/0000-embedding-fonts-into-pdf-files/
https://help.foxitsoftware.com/kb/how-to-embed-font-to-a-pdf-document.php
http://matrossi.blogspot.com/2011/04/embedding-fonts-in-pdfs-using.html

to name just a few.
