I think its in the xorg-fonts-100dpi pkg or xorg-fonts-75dpi pkg, flux and blackbox get the same error. Try installing them both from the repo's, and let us know if it worked.

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:

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...

Comments from Adobe Reader (Ipad) is not readable on PC (missing Helvetica font)

Hello!
I have a such problem - my chief is commenting pdf documents at his iPad. Problem is that this comments cannot be viewed, because of missing font "Helvetica". I cannot find any options to change font at Ipad. As I know - Helvetica font is commercial font, so I can not find it in web and install to workstations. How it can be solved? Help, please!

Hi,
When a particular font is unavailable on your system, it should be automatically substituted with the similar font that exists on your system. (As a user, you do not need to do anything.)
On your PC, which PDF viewer application do you use to view the PDF document?
The desktop version of Adobe Reader should not have any problems viewing the comments created by Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC for iOS.
Do you get an error message on your PC? Would you take a screenshot of the error message and post it to your next forum reply?
How to add a screenshot to a forum message from iPad/iPhone
Does your chief use Adobe Reader/Acrobat DC for iOS to add comments to PDF documents on his iPad? Or does he use some other iOS app to add comments?
Thank you.

Helvetica font problems with DW and Mac OS 10.5

wondering if anyone else has seen this, just upgraded to 10.5
and DW (CS3) doesn't seem to be able to access system-wide
Helvetica fonts. I get odd symbols that require the page to be
encoded in Unicode, but odd symbols still show up, and I can't get
rid of them, even by trying to eliminate them in code view. Even if
I use Arial as default font, DW's inability to access Helvetica
seems to be introducing the symbol problems. I also use Suitcase
Fusion, and they recommend switching Apple's Helvetica.dfont with
Postscript version of Helvetica, since not all apps can access the
.dfont. Since this is a system-wide font that has it's own issues.
Searched help and these forums but didn't see anything about this
online. If anyone has any tips let me know. thanks.

If it happens in a new user you may be able to repair this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

After installing Snow Leopard problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts

I've never really have a problem with any of apple's products until now.
After installing Snow Leopard I've found problems with using any of my Helvetica fonts,
which is a BIG problem if you work in DTP or print. You CAN'T remove the system version of Helvetica, and replace it with your own anymore.
Also Flash CS4 seems to be a dead duck, as after about 5-6 seconds of loading the program it crashes with a "KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE".
<title edited by host>

Thanks Tom but the original post title was "Work in DTP, don't install snow leopard", but of course apple were unhappy with the title. I know the issue/problem has been discussed for months, the real problem is that it shouldn't be a problem which everyone has to find work arounds for.
After 4 days of playing about, I've finally got flash CS4 working and Quarkxpress was also a big problem for a few months. Printer description (PPD) files which snow leopard doesn't like, but worked in tiger & leopard.....means I can't use my two A3 inkjets for proofing anymore.
I'm just disappointed by snow leopard

Regular Helvetica font becomes compressed in some Leopard applications

Since installing Leopard, I've noticed that several instances of the Helvetica font become horizontally compressed. It's merely an annoyance when viewed online, but when trying to enter text into a field, such as in Yahoo! Messenger v.3.0b2, it's impossible to know where to place the insertion point, since it doesn't correspond to the actual character outlines.
One place it's 100% reproducible is when using Safari 3 to view the date and headlines on MacFixIt:
http://www.macfixit.com/
It's clearly a bug, because it looks as intended in every other browser, including Firefox for Mac OS X.
Does anyone have a fix?

Tom Gewecke wrote:
Actually I meant on your machine already.
I did have several duplicates -- mostly older versions of the Microsoft-installed fonts that Apple now seems to include with the OS. I got rid of the older verisons that had been in my user fonts folder, thinking that maybe Arial was the culprit. No dice: even after a restart, with no dupes in Font Book, the problem is as before.
For comparison, here are how I see MacFixIt's homepage in Safari 3:
http://ewestby.com/safari-narrow-fonts.gif
and in Firefox:
http://ewestby.com/firefox-normal-fonts.gif
This is after checking for and removing duplicate fonts. And again, I'm not merely quibbling: I can live with the odd display. The real problem is that in several apps, text entry gets messed up because the insertion point doesn't appear where it's supposed to, since the OS is somehow not keeping track of the proper character widths.

[SOLVED] Web browser won't use (or can't find) Helvetica font

I'm currently using Gnome 3.6.2, Firefox 17.0.1, and Chromium 23.0.1271.97.
Many sites that I visit use a Helvetica font variant: Helvetica, Helvetica Neue, or Helvetica World.
However, it seems as though the actual names of these fonts vary depending on where they were purchased.
For example, you will find the following names scattered across the internet:
- Helvetica Std
- Helvetica LT
- Helvetica LT Std
- Helvetica LT Com
and so forth... and this includes the variants as well.
Nowhere, including the Adobe website, have I found just "Helvetica" alone.
However, I'm not a font expert and this may not matter.
The family "Helvetica" may be specified within the font itself.
Yet, this does not seem to be the case because although I have Helvetica LT Std installed, no browser will render it for just "Helvetica".
I tried creating the following font alias:
<alias>
<family>Helvetica</family>
<prefer><family>Helvetica LT Std</family></prefer>
<default><family>fixed</family></default>
</alias>
But that does not work.
Where am I going wrong?
I'd also like to note that Firebug on Firefox is the only web developer tool that will show which font is actually being rendered on the page, as opposed to just listing the css rule.

Excuse me, do you mean you have not any Helvetica typeface installed yet? What is the output of

No, that's not at all what I mean. If you read the first post, then you'd realize that I'm struggling with getting Firefox to use something like 'Helvetica LT Std' in place of 'Helvetica' or 'Helvetica Neue LT Com' in place of 'Helvetica Neue'. I'm now resorting to simply copying over 'Helvetica.ttf' under the assumption that it will provide simply 'Helvetica' without the 'LT whatever...' .

The problem with mail app using Helvetica font (Mountain lion 10.8.2)

I used mail application to send an email (Korean Language) with Helvetica font. However, the receiver could not read the content because a mess content with symbols was displayed. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks a lot

You didn't really use the Helvetica font, because that font has no Korean characters. You just sent Korean text in an encoding which the recipient did not understand. Use the Message > Text Encoding menu before sending to try a few different encodings, like UTF-8, Korean EUC, and Korean Windows, to see which one works best for that receiver.

Helvetica fonts

I just got a new computer, and upgraded to ID CC. Now my Helvetica fonts don't work. I have a whole set from as far back as 1988. What can I do to get them to work. Most of my books are Helvetica.

As Steve wrote, you have to install it from your old computer. But I would strongly recommend to buy new Helvetica as Open Type Font because old fonts have missing new glyphs, T1 have only 255 glyphs (+ space) and all fonts have improved quality since the 80s, OTF would also support the extended OTF capability of InDesign or Illustrator. So you should consider not only to invest in a new hardware but also in fonts. OTF are also compatible between different OS.
Changing styles is easy with the Find Font command.

Helvetica font has become "invisible" to Pages

Today I realised that Helvetica font has become "invisible" to iWork applications! I open Pages and Helvetica is not listed in the font list. I press Command+T and it's not there. In TextEdit it is, but in Pages it's not. In Font Book it's active, checked font, it's OK. Other fonts from the System/Library/Fonts folder are listed, only Helvetica is missing. WHY?
When I copy Helvetica font from the System/Library/Fonts to Library/Fonts folder and use this duplicated font, I see it in Pages. And I cannot even disable original Helvetica font in the System/Library/Fonts folder in Font Book, even if I try. Font Book displays warning and then doesn't disable even if there is the same font in the System/Library/Fonts folder.
I sent bug report to Apple but maybe someone can give me some clue how to solve this problem without font duplication?

What do you mean by GFC? Grace Fellowship Church, Georgia Forestry Commission or Geelong Football Club? (Those are Google suggestions for GFC)
OK, if you mean Global Financial Crisis (it's my guess) then we are still going down, and nothing suggests that anything will change soon. Maybe after one year we may see some improvement. People are very pessimistic, many leave the country as they don't see any future here. Government has led the country to absolute ruin, and it's getting worse and worse as they add new taxes and increase existing ones. VAT was increased from 18% to 21%, and thus all products became about 5-10% more expensive. Only bus tickets have become 10% cheaper. Medicine got more expensive. Recently they added "in average 30%" to the road taxes, which in reality is 100-200% increase. No one has explained what formula they used to get "30%". In the last half a year in rural regions income has fallen almost by half... Estonia and Lithuania aren't hit by GFC so much as Latvia, Estonians are already recovering and soon will be back where they were one year ago. I think this crisis will reflect in Apple product sales in Baltics very soon.

Warning: Bogus Helvetica Font May Appear in System/Library/Fonts

I received an unreadable email message from a Windows-using friend recently. The text was a jumble of fractions. Things got weirder later that day when I noticed the same font corruption on Amazon.com and a few other sites that evidently use Helvetica. Restarting my computer cleared up the problem, but it recurred. Eventually I discovered a pair of bogus "HelveticaMM" fonts in System/Library/Fonts, which obviously did not belong there. Not only are these fonts not part of OS X's complement of System fonts; in fact, they don't even exist. There has never been a Multiple Master (MM) version of Helvetica. Logging in as Root and tossing these bogus fonts has solved the problem (hopefully for good), but the question remains: How did these fonts get into my System Fonts folder in the first place? It certainly appears that my friend's garbled email message was involved in the corruption of my System fonts, but is this possible? If so, it would be (for me, at least) my first-ever experience in more than 20 years of using Macs with System corruption caused by an outside agent.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? If so, what's your take on the cause? More to the point: How could one prevent something like this from happening again?
Thanks!
20-inch iMac 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Meanwhile, at least I've nuked the offending fonts.
There is nothing "offending" or illegitimate about these fonts. They are installed by OS X 10.4, not by "some application installer." They do not cause the problem of seeing fractions instead of Latin, which has been experienced and solved by hundreds of people before you. That results from a different font, Helvetica Fractions, which is not installed by OS X or by any Apple application.
Your information on OS X and MM fonts is at least 2 years out-of-date. Please read the link you were provided earlier, which is from April 2005:
http://images.apple.com/macosx/pdf/MacOSXFontTB.pdf
From page 9:
"Support for industry standards
Mac OS X delivers industry-leading support for popular font formats.
• Multiple Master. This special type of PostScript font allows variation of one or more font parameters (such as weight) to create a large number of custom styles, also known as instances. Mac OS X can activate already created instances of Multiple Master fonts."

Which Helvetica font do I want to purchase?

This is most likely a silly question, but I need to be sure.
I have just learned the hard way on how to try & only use non-base 14 fonts for pdf fillable forms in order to maintain a manageable file size.
I would like to standardize on Helvetica. Which version do I want to purchase? There are so many variants (Neue, Std, Roman, etc.) and I need to make sure it is the standard non-base 14 Helvetica before I drop $100 or more.
Thanks!
-CM

I think you may have misunderstood, or I communicated badly. If you use anything other than the standard (base-14) fonts with a form field, then Acrobat will embed the entire font in the document, resulting in a corresponding increase in file size The built-in fonts that will prevent this are shown below:
In other words, you don't need to buy anything. The fonts shown above - or suitable replacements - are guaranteed to be available for use with a compliant PDF viewer.

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.
