Oct 27, 2016 Helvetica is not a font provided by Microsoft. It is included with some HP laser printers, or if you really need this font rather than a similar non-serif font then it can be obtained from Linotype - http://www.linotype.com/526/helvetica-family.html. When Microsoft was choosing fonts for Windows, around 1991 or so, they made a licensing deal with Monotype, who were nearly bankrupt at the time and made a very favorable (to Microsoft) deal. Helvetica font free download - Helvetica Neue FlipFont, Helvetica Clock, Font Bonanza, and many more programs. Dvd drive not showing up windows 10.
I am trying to use a font in the Helvetica family for a Word document on a Windows 7 machine.
Why is the Helvetica font is not available by default through Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office?
Kevin PankoIf you want to use Helvetica, you will have to buy it.
Helvetica is a licensed font family, any company wishing to use it must pay to do so. Windows has free-to-use alternatives such as Arial and Calibri but Helvetica is not freely available.
You can buy Windows TTF format fonts which will work with all applications, but anything you give to someone else will likely fall back to using Arial.
