do not force font family during pandoc invocation

It is better to set the font family from the style file, for example, to
set the font to a Helvetica like (Helvetica was the default font) you
can put the following code in the style file

```tex
\usepackage{helvet}
\renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
```

Also the font size is reduced to 11pt by default
