Anyone happen to have any Neue Helvetica fonts for the PC? I’d like to use them to finish a personal project of mine. Thanks!

The Helvetica Neue series is available for purchase from Adobe’s Web site:

I’m sure you aren’t suggesting that someone break copyright law by sending you commercial fonts for free, right?

Helvetica and Arial are so incredibly close that they are practically one and the same. A lot of programs actually auto convert Helvetica into Arial. If you *really* want Helvetica, then use the link that Tacit provided, otherwise just use Arial.

Helvetica Neue is not the same thing as Helvetica. Helvetica Neue is a family of fonts in many different weights and in both condensed and extended varieties; you can’t substitute Arial (or Helvetica, for that matter) for the entire Helvetica Neue family.

Not true; Arial is based on an entirely different design, at least a couple of decades older than Helvetica’s. Monotype did modify their original to have the same set-widths as Helvetica (which certainly didn’t do it any good aesthetically), in theory allowing substitution of one for the other without reflow, but many of the letterforms themselves are quite different. Look at the capital R and G from each family, for a couple of obvious examples; the numeral 1 is another dead giveaway.
