Like I said the machine runs very slowly, It could save me a lot of processing time by putting the correct cd in the first time. After looking at about 5 cd's with no luck, I decided I would just go to those who know the history facts. I was just hoping for a little history lesson on which of the so many old software CD's in my archives I can access and install to get to the font family I am looking for. I know I am asking virtually an impossible thing, but I am going to great lengths to make a machine that is free of updates. I would like to make alterations to the projects and then save the files with my changes and give the files back with my updates and not have the other users have to make any font replacement actions. I have a project that is using the type 1 helvetica family of fonts. I have a Windows 2000 machine set up and working (slowly, but working). But my small project of theirs will not be of enough importance to them to convince them to make the change. I would love for this client to make the switch to Open type Helvetica, like all other sane corporations. Migration to OpenType is most strongly recommended!! The same is true for applications from other vendors. That would solve your problem directly.Īll this having been said, you should be aware that although Microsoft still continues to support installation of the older Type 1 fonts and Adobe graphic arts software (including Acrobat) continues to support Type 1 fonts even under Windows 10, you should be aware that the last two versions of Microsoft Office (20) and the newest Microsoft V4 printer drivers no longer provide any support for Type 1 fonts. Or if you no longer have that software but do have such devices, contact the manufacturer's support organization and try to get a copy of the software. Thus, if you have a printer with actual Adobe PostScript, you should look for the CD/DVD that came with that device and find the installer for that software. Part of the Adobe PostScript license provided to our OEMs provides these OEMs (such as Xerox, Ricoh, etc.) to distribute those fonts on their host software / drivers software distribution. However, the easiest and least expensive way to obtain the fonts that are resident in Adobe PostScript-based printers / RIPs is to simply install the host-based fonts provided by the manufacturer of those printers. You mention that you “cannot” use that version? Perhaps you might explain what the issues you have are, other than the full font name. The OpenType Helvetica LT Std font family, part of the Adobe Font Library, available either as part of the Adobe Font Folio product than can be licensed directly from Adobe or available from other foundries indeed has the same design and metrics as the original Helvetica family shipped by Adobe with PostScript printers. Those fonts are not public domain or “free” in any manner. Although you could conceivably “convert” such a MacOS-format TrueType font to a Windows-based TrueType font with the appropriate conversion utility software, in fact, such conversions may not be legal under the MacOS license agreement. The Type 1 Helvetica fonts that form four of the typefaces of the “base 13” fonts of Adobe PostScript are no longer licensed directly by Adobe to end users, for better or for worse!Īlso note that the TrueType Helvetica typefaces that are bundled with MacOS are not the same fonts that were distributed by Adobe or that were printer-resident in Adobe PostScript-based printers/RIPs.
