I have an interesting piece of news for you. Linotype Helle (who designed
Helvetica) no longer distributes it as a stand-alone.
If you wish to purchase the font, the new version of this font is called
Neue Helvetica, and you can get it from Adobe at: http://www.adobe.com/type/. Scan the font list.
We have an old purchased version onsite, but we are redesigning our
documents so that our base font is no longer one that is not available.
