Although fonts like Courier are in some sense standard, they are never implicit. When you refer to a font in the contents stream, it is a reference to a name in the Resources dictionary, and through that to an actual font dictionary in the file. These names can be anything, not just F1, F2 though you might often see this. The base 14 fonts do not require a Font Descriptor, nor do they need to be embedded to display properly; this does make them much simpler to work with.
