All areas of the XL used Helvetica, except for the title bar headings on the current version, which I believe is Interstate (the same font on the IntelliStar), and the TWC logo.

Correct, It is not on XP. It does come with every Mac, since the early 90s. What i was able to do was
get a free converter from a certain website, put it on my mac, and it converted the Mac font to Windows
format. And it works. There are only 2 different kinds of it though.

That's weird, I've always had Helvetica on my PC. Not that I ever use it (I think it's dull).

Maybe it came with a software program thats on your computer??? Because I know for sure that it doesnt come with Windows. Ever.

Yeah I too can assure you that Helvetica does not come with Windows.

Hey-I have an old Mac in my basement. Is there a way I could get the Helvetica font from it?

You should be able to, by using a font converter to convert it to the Windows format, and then transferring it to your PC. What kind of Mac is it?

Its an old PowerMac 8100/80. How would I a) get a converter onto the Mac, and b) get the font to the PC? Floppies aren't cross-platform, are they? And obviously a Mac THAT old doesn't have a burner.
