I am at my work computer and just realized that I don’t have the standard Helvetica fonts here. I have to do a few code changes, and I need the Standard grouping of Helvetica, Bold Italic and Bold Italic. The .ttf file is all i need. If anyone has them, and can ZIP then e-mail, please let me know. Mike ---

Generally you wont have them unless you installed a program with them, or all of the photoshop add in fonts. MS replaced it with their version… Arial. My customer doesn’t care for arial and wants Helvetica only. ---

I am really not sure why, but it happens so i deleted them. ---

you need to kern them so the spacing is correct. ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > you need to kern them so the spacing is correct. Problem is, It is part of a imagemagick script, and I can’t justify modifying the entire script to satisfy a font because I want this off my desk. I will just wait until tomorrow and e-mail them to myself tonight. thanks tom… buy a mac 😛 I have a hard enough time ordering a high end Dell from my company let alone a friggin mac. they would send me through an interrogation to fill that request!
