| 1124295 | 2010-08-03 09:19:00 | Hi Digby ... yeah been reading a bit myself and Arial is very close ... I think there's only about 4 or 5 Letters & numbers that have slight differences. G Q & 1 are 3 of them. What I can't understand is why DeSade has it on MS Word ... unless it's a corporate copy where Helvetica has been installed and used in a business environment. Tutor may be somewhat pedantic or just following the course content "spec's" to the letter not realising that the font isn't free to all. Tomorrow will tell. |

| 1124297 | 2010-08-03 11:34:00 | I am sure that Helvetica was on my Mac when I used that OS, which would have been from 1986 to the mid 1990s. Not that this is much help to you know, but I would have been using a Microsoft suite in those days. Does Open Office have Helvetica? |

| 1124300 | 2010-08-03 23:37:00 | Microsoft Works 8 has Helvetica font. Came preinstalled on my computer. | golfer (6609) | ||
| 1124301 | 2010-08-03 23:53:00 | Microsoft Works 8 has Helvetica font. Came preinstalled on my computer. I have MS Works 8 OEM version and it does not show up when I open the word processor. Also I have Office 2007 and its not there either. Before anyone asks I have Works so I can read database files sent to me by a member of our golf club. |

| 1124302 | 2010-08-04 01:39:00 | I remember having a similar task when I was doing a course with The Open Polytechnic several years back now. It was no better then, even though I requested they didn't use Helvetica as it was a paid font that most people don't have. The lecturer didn't seem to understand that even in an IT course, 50% of the people didn't have the font for a reason ... coz it's not free! He just wrote it off as part of the course-related fees. Wish I could have smacked him one over the head for being such an ass! Long story short, back in the day I found a free download (Legal or not, didn't care, I removed it immediately after that one paper), but yeah, almost all font sites want you to pay for it now... It's a grey area, but to be honest your best place to look is torrents. 'nuff said. |

| 1124303 | 2010-08-04 03:10:00 | Helvetica should be on a Mac, also did you actually check photoshop as in open photoshop and look, as at one point adobe save their included fonts to c:\program files\common siles\adobe\fonts so they by default would only be used on adobe prograns |
