Heres what i did:

I have a Performa 6400 running Mac OS 8. It is connected to the internet, so i downloaded a free font converter for Mac.

I converted it, then used a Floppy to transfer it from the Mac to the PC. It all worked flawlessly.

Gary, theres no doubt that your system is able to do this and has Helvetica.


To save trouble, I could probably post the font here, but there are only 2 versions of it.

What would be the difference if you posted yours or if I took it off my Mac myslef? Would I get something more out of doing it myself?

No, it would just be more work for you. Why go through all the trouble to do it yourself, when i've already done it and have it ready to go?

Except for the titlebar on the XL v3, which is Interstate.

You could try a font called "Swis721" (Google it). It is very similar to Helvetica, and has many more weights any styles than the Helvetica Gil posted. I'm not going to post a direct link to it, because I'm not sure if it is legal to do so.

Gil wanted it deleted (because Billy asked if it was illegal, and then Gil asked for it to be deleted), so I did.

Yes, to avoid getting banned because it probably was not legal for me to do such a thing. I appoogize, but good luck to everyone who got it while the topic was there! :D
