DyslexicDog Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 So a potential client sent me a comp for his website and the designer he used sent me a an illustrator file that uses a helvetica font. I have installed about 50 different helvetica fonts trying to find this thing and can't seem to get the correct font. Anyone know where I can find the correct plain jane helvetica font?

zq29 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I thought it came default with Windows - If not, can't you request that the designer forwards you the font? Or, ask them for the type to be converted to paths? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/143231-helvetica-hell/#findComment-751260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 If not, can't you request that the designer forwards you the font? Licensing issues would probably be a problem.

DyslexicDog Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yes, the design was done on a mac and I run windows at home. From what I've read you can't transfer mac font files to windows, but you can transfer windows fonts to mac os x.
