There is no "12pt.sty", but the LaTeX distribution supports the style "12pt". Since LaTeX now supports Postscript fonts, it should support styles "times", "helvetica", etc. This has *nothing* to do with what the files are named. In fact, to get the best compatibility between old and new LaTeX, the files should not be named "times.sty" etc. so that old files with the same names won't get used accidentally. The names "nftimes.sty" and "nfhelv.sty" sound reasonable. The question is: does LaTeX2e provide such support? It is as easy as \def\ds@times{\input{nftimes.sty}}...or whatever "ds@" has become.
