The https://blog.golang.org/go-fonts blog post speaks about "proportionally-spaced fonts" and "monospaced fonts".

While the latter set of fonts is easily mapped back to "golang.org/x/image/font/gofont/gomono{,bold,bolditalic,italic}", the mapping is less obvious for the former.

What should be the equivalent gofont fonts for Helvetica-{,Bold,Oblique,BoldOblique} ? (ie: the sans-serif fonts)

Also, it seems there is no Times-{Roman,Bold,Italic,BoldItalic} equivalent ? (ie: the serif fonts)

Perhaps the godoc documentation for each package should mention mono, serif and sans-serif ?

The Go Font equivalents of Helvetica-{,Bold,Oblique,BoldOblique} are go{regular,bold,italic,bolditalic}, as both are proportional-width sans-serif.

There are no proportional-width serif fonts in the Go Font family. There might be in the future, but that's really up to Bigelow & Holmes, and I can't speak for them. (They also don't frequent this issue tracker, but we'll let them know that you're wondering about a proportional-width serif).
