Helvetica font for a project

I need to use a full adobe helvetica version for a project. The system will not let me load it because it uses some helveticas for screen view. How can I change the system font so I can use the helveetica I need?

We're both getting into scary territory here, but...
Beginning with Leopard, 10.5, Apple has made it nearly impossible to remove critical fonts. If you attempt to remove protected fonts from the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder, the OS will tell you that you cannot remove the font(s) and replaces them from copies in another location. Sometimes immediately, at other times, after you have restarted. Even if it doesn't immediately replace Lucida Grande, the OS continues to use it from the protected location, preventing you from losing control of your Mac. There are quite a few fonts you can still remove from the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder, but others resurrect themselves if removed. See section five on how to permanently remove Apple's supplied versions of Helvetica and Helvetica Neue in Leopard, 10.5 or Snow Leopard, 10.6 if this is important for you.

How can I add "Helvetica" font into my window software program???
You buy it and install it or use one of the free knock-offs you can find on certain websites. There is no Helvetica on Windows otherwise and there never was. That's what Arial is for...

On these forums, whether it is Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, ect the Apple EULA (for front usage) is pretty much the same. There are also tons of threads addressing this question.

I just need clarification. I just switched to freelance design work and need to know how I can really use these fonts in any client work.
From what I am understanding, Apple purchased fonts from some foundries. It purchased the rights to install these fonts on their operating system for customers to use them for personal use i.e., like a resume or powerpoint presentation.
However, these fonts can not be used say for a logo, book, publication, web design or basically anything that would be outside the scope of what a designer would create for a client. UNLESS, I go through each and EVERY single font Apple provided with its software and read each and EVERY font EULA?
Even if I read all of them, they are usually little to no help. Zapfino, for example, the font info preview states nothing useful (included below.)
So basically, I am forced to hide all fonts by apple so I know which ones I can use for logos, web design, ect? This seems ridiculous! When I purchase fonts from foundries, reading each EULA is one thing, but goodness for Apple? We don't have to for Adobe
Sorry guys, most designers seem to think you can use anything installed for projects. I don't want to end up in trouble down the road and find this VERY frustrating. Apologies for the rant!

Hi Kurt,
I just looked at your other responses and am glad you are here The thread below states the moderaters were contacted and we are ok to use the fonts. I ended up submitting a question to the legal team at apple too. If I recieve a response I will show you.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/396465?start=0&tstart=0
Just one more question though from your response:
Kurt Lang wrote:
From the Lion license agreement:
F. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the
Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only
embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in
question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info
panel.
It does read somewhat strange. The first part is easy. You can use the fonts however you want for your own use. Embedding is also clear. You need to check the restrictions as shown in Font Book's Info panel. What it doesn't cover is sending the fonts along with a project as is (not embedded). Is that okay? The license doesn't cover that scenario. I think you'd have to go by each font's individual license to be sure.
The only thing Font Book preview provides regarding embedding (for Apple's fonts anyway) is:
Enabled               Yes
Duplicate              No
Copy Protected     No
Embeddable          Yes
It doesn't state anything else about embedding. Does embedding yes indicate it's ok OR does it mean the font file extension is embeddable? For instance, .dfont maybe is not embeddable (no idea if that is the case just an example.)
Thanks so much!

I bought and installed many fonts for a project and one font in particular which is showing up in the font list on a new file, is missing when I open an existing file containing that font. I can't understand why that's happening and the font is Centrale S

Hi
I am encountering a missing font error on Adobe Illustrator for a font that I recently bought - Centrale Sans Bold. This font is clearly installed in the system's font folder and is also showing in the font list on Adobe Illustrator. But when I open an existing file containing this font it is giving the error "The document uses fonts or characters which are not available or are in a different format than originally specified".
We have also bought Centrale Sans regular from a different website as we couldn't find both on one, could that be clashing somehow?
Also the existing file was created on MAC plattform and we are using a windows plattform to open it. That to me doesn't seem like an issue as all other files are opening up fine and I have bought around 47 fonts and only this font seems to be not working. I have also written to the website I bought it from but I have also bought around 20-25 fonts from them and all the other fonts are working fine too. Maybe its an illustrator related problem?
Please help!!!!!!

There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?

Helvetica Font Available for HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-in-One Printer

I have a client that needs to use Helvetica for the HP Officejet Pro L7590 All-in-One Printer, but we are not seeing this as an option.
I assume the driver doesn't provide this font? What other options exist for using the Helvetica font with this printer?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi,
It should be included in Full Feature software on the following link:

Not on this list.
Maybe it gets installed with something else? For example, I have MS Ofiice on the 10.7 system but not on the others.

HT5072 What is the default font for I-books author. I believe it is Helvetica 14. thanks/marv

What is the default font for I-books author, the one brest to choose so that book is readable om an i-pad. Is it Helvetica 14? How about the paragraph pf text that introduces each chapter (it is a larger font, I believe) Thanks.

It depends on the template and the part of the text. Just click your mouse on the text and you should see the font name in the format bar at the top.

Cyrillic font for FM6.0 on Mac OS 9?

Hi,

Thanks, Susanne

How do I change the default font for foot/end notes in Pages 09?

The fonts for notes in Pages seems fixed to Helvetica, even when the font for the body has been changed. I've been able to save the font for the body by saving it as a tempate, but it doesn't seem to work for the notes. Any help?

looked several times in the index.xml describing the docs.
A new note descriptor starts with :
<sf:p sf:style="kSFWPFootnoteTextStyleIdentifier">
If we change something to the note attributes the app replace the default style by a custom one. For instance, it may be :
<sf:p sf:style="SFWPParagraphStyle-68">
My first attempt was to insert a font descriptor in the default style.
Alas, for the app, such descriptor is pure garbage and it delete it.
Second attempt was to try to find the descriptor of the font used by default.
At last, I discovered that the app use in fact the font described by the resouirce named : FONT_Helvetica in the Blank template.
I choose to use HoeflerText-Regular so I applied this scheme.
(1) navigate to the file
Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:Blank.template:Contents:Resources:fr .lproj:Localizable.strings
(2) to play safety, duplicate it
(3) drag it on the Desktop bercause the System don't allow us to edit it.
(4) When it's on the desktop, if you installed the developers tools double click the file's icon.
If you didn't, drag & drop its icon on TextEdit's one.
(5) Near the bottom, you will find the line :
"FONT_Helvetica" = "Helvetica";
edit it as :
"FONT_Helvetica" = "HoeflerText-Regular";
(6) Save the file on the Desktop,
(7) Move it back in its original folder.
I described the process for the French language (which use fr.lproj)
For other languages, replace fr.lproj by the item of this liost matching your language :
da.lproj
de.lproj
en.lproj
es.lproj
fi.lproj
fr.lproj
it.lproj
ja.lproj
ko.lproj
nl.lproj
no.lproj
pl.lproj
pt_PT.lproj
pt.lproj
ru.lproj
sv.lproj
zh_CN.lproj
zh_TW.lproj
Have fun.
Oops, of course Pages is supposed to be closed when you do that.

Where can I get fancy text fonts for Adobe Photoshop?

I have Adobe Photoshop CS(old) and I would like to know where I can obtain fancy fonts for some creative designing. Please see sample attached. Thanks in advance.

Going way back, I used to have to remove fonts, to get my OS to function properly. They really slowed the computer down. That was when I first went to a font manager, so that I could do that on the fly. OS's are MUCH better now.
Still, my machines have only about 350 installed fonts, at any one time. I have about the same number of fonts, as you do, and then just add the ones that I need for a job, letting them uninstall, when I shut down.
In general, the laptop is pretty clean, but I have about 12,000 fonts available on it. I've got about 19,000 on the workstation, but still, never have more than about 350, installed at any one time. I probably should pare down those fonts, as many have not been used, ever, and many were for particular clients, or projects, and will likely never get used again. Still, and especially with display/Headline fonts, I often go searching for just the right look, for main Titles, etc., in my Videos. Just do not do much print work nowadays.
At one time, I could backup my fonts on a CD. Now, it's two DL DVD's! Still, I paid for 95% of those suckas, and the rest were free from the Internet, so I do have an investment, and who knows what I will need to do tomorrow?

Set default font for document

Is there a way to set the default font for all objects in a document? For some reason it is Helvetica Neue every time and I need to change it to what I want.

Hello
The defaults reached thru the Terminal are not storing infos about the font used as default one in a template.
I apologize but when I select all in a Numbers document and save it as a template, it doesn't match your requirements.
Each time I insert a new table it defaults to HelveticaNeue.
This is why I gave the tip which changes the font name in the Index.xml file.
From my iDisk:
<http://idisk.mac.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
you may download:
:For_iWork:changeFont.zip
which gives you the ability to do the job very easily.
you may also download
For_iWork:removePrintRecord.zip
which removes the print Record embedded in our documents if this one is annoying.

Creating font for a different dpi

Using Visual Studio 2008 for our project C++..
Trying to create/select a font at a different dot per inch (dpi) .
We calculate the font height with this line.. dot per mm * 25.4 = dpi.
m_pLF->lfHeight = (long)(-item.GetFontSize() * theMachine.GetDotsPerMm()) * 25.4 / 72;
The font is drawn on a bitmap and then viewed. The problem is that the font seems to come out too small ?
About 30% too small
Full font selection routine is here.
void CLibraryBase::SelectFont(CItem &item, CLabel &label)
//choose the font
m_pLF=(LOGFONT*)calloc(1,sizeof(LOGFONT));
CString szFontName = item.GetFontName();
wcsncpy(m_pLF->lfFaceName,szFontName,szFontName.GetLength());
m_pLF->lfHeight = (long)(-item.GetFontSize() * theMachine.GetDotsPerMm()) * 25.4 / 72;
m_pLF->lfWeight = FW_NORMAL;
if(item.GetBold())
m_pLF->lfWeight = FW_BOLD;
if((szFontName.MakeUpper() == "WINGDINGS")||(szFontName.MakeUpper() == "SYMBOL")||(szFontName.MakeUpper() == "WEBDINGS"))
m_pLF->lfCharSet = SYMBOL_CHARSET;
m_pLF->lfItalic = item.GetItalic();
m_pLF->lfUnderline = item.GetUnderline();
m_pLF->lfStrikeOut = item.GetStrikeout();
m_pLF->lfQuality = ANTIALIASED_QUALITY;
m_pLF->lfPitchAndFamily = VARIABLE_PITCH | FF_DONTCARE;
m_Font.CreateFontIndirect(m_pLF);

Please show the code of GetFontSize and GetDotsPerMm function.
Think about using GetTextMetrics() function, like this.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd144941(v=vs.85).aspx
GetTextMetrics(hdc, &tm); m_pLF->lfHeight= tm.tmHeight + tm.tmExternalLeading;
