Helvetica font

[wli2k2]

One of our users can select to use the helvetica font on Word 2003 but the
fonts is not listed under \\winnt\fonts. Another one of our users need this
font in Word 2003. I compared both PCs and they seem to have the same
software installed. Am I missing something here; can anyone tell me what
software or something loads the helvetica font on the PC.

Thanks.

Helvetica has never been offered by Microsoft in any application or
operating system. Your user apparently has something else on his system that
included Helvetica.

A number of the sans serif fonts in Word are pretty darn close
to helvetica. Arial, verdana and lucida sans are examples, with
arial being closest. It would not surprise me to find an expert
who could show the differences between arial and helvetica but I
can't

That's probably true but you know as well as I do that some companies can be
*very* picky about the darnedest thing.

Helvetica is considered a MAC font, normally. The Windows equivelent is
normally Arial, or Swiss, if you install it.
