Helvetica is an Apple / MAC O/S font, like Arial is a Microsoft / Windows
O/S font. The PC equivalent of Helvetica is Swiss 721. "ahahorse" wrote in message ... : The Helvetica font is not available or I can't find it. Is it available or : in the existing software? : : Thanks. |

Helvetica is a hot type font that long predates Macintosh computers --
maybe Apple has licensed it from its owner to include a digital version with its applications. As such, it can probably be purchased like any other commercial font. (Arial was commissioned by and designed for Microsoft.) On Dec 22, 2:59*pm, "Tom Willett" wrote: Helvetica is an Apple / MAC O/S font, like Arial is a Microsoft / Windows O/S font.

Install the font with Windows. As far as I know, Helvetica isn't included
with any version of Office (but I could be wrong), so you will have to buy it first. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "ahahorse" wrote in message ... The Helvetica font is not available or I can't find it. Is it available or in the existing software? Thanks. |

Helvetica is a copyrighted commercial font owned by the Linotype foundry (http://www.linotype.com/526/helvetica-family.html). It is not licensed by Microsoft for distribution with either Windows or Office. If you want real Helvetica, you will have to buy it and install it in the Windows\Fonts folder. Helvetica is licensed for distribution with some Hewlett Packard printers, so you may investigate that. There are dozens of very close imitations of Helvetica, described in the "Similar typefaces" section of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica. You may be satisfied with Arial, which does come with Windows, or you may want to try one of the other imitations, some of which can be downloaded for free. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
