As far as texinfo.tex is concerned, you can only change the fonts used by modifying texinfo.tex internals. It's been done in the past (GNU Press used code to switch the fonts from Computer Modern to Palatino). It's possible you won't get anybody to help you work on this. I don't know if you would get "Arial" per se as a font in TeX but I am not an expert in TeX fonts.
