If your IT department wants Helevetica Neue, they will need to buy the OTF versions, or find 'approximate' knockoffs like Swiss that will be even more problematic.īy the way, although there are font utilities that can convert font formats from one to another, this is not a good/legal approach when perfect, legal OTF versions exist, albeit at a cost. Adobe Fonts Instantly use fonts from Adobe and other foundries on the web and in applications.

And if that was years ago, I'd say you got a pretty good deal for your money over that time. Someone had to have paid for it for you to have it legally. It was not part of the Postscript bundled fonts included with printers (Helvetica, Helevtica Condensed, and Helvetica Narrow were, but not Neue). It should be noted that Helevetica Neue in Type 1 was never 'free'. Famously, Acrobat itself has a problem with them, so those people who like to use Acrobat as a text editor (DON'T DO THIS) find that they can only see a few of the fourteen styles (This is an issue with ANY TTC font on a Mac that has more than 4 styles). Microsoft apps were an example of that, but have since been updated to properly list TTC fonts. For instance because the TTC file for Hevetica contains FOURTEEN styles, it doesn't work well with apps that are used to old font 'family' of' the typical four styles (Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic). There are still many problems with the TTC version with certain apps, even on a Mac. If you're using a Mac, and have Helvetica Neue, yes, you are good to go FOR NOW but really, it's time to move on to OTF or choose a new typeface.
