What I know about fonts can be put on the point of a pin, let alone the head. However I have been following this with great interest because I always thought that Helvetica was a 'standard' cross platform font for both Windows and OS X. It is recommended as a standard font for web use for this very reason.

However it seems that things chez Microsoft have moved on. Windows, as Gerard has so clearly and graphically explained, now uses Arial as a Helvetica substitute and Helvetica itself is no longer part of the Windows font set.

wow David, very interesting, coincidentally my friend with a Mac computer and Photoshop CS5, wanted me to work with Helvetica at my house which is a PC and Photoshop CS6, when I told him I did not have it, that when the search for Helvetica started.So now, mystery solved!! Thank you so much!!
