I have a font dilemma and I was hoping that you could help me out. I am the Technical
Lead for display software development for the International Space Station and we are
currently changing our Operating System from Solaris 2.5 (I know that is old) to
Redhat Linux 9.0. The problem is that our software is heavily dependent on the font
and the Adobe Helvetica font distributed with Redhat 9.0 is not close enough to the
Adobe Helvetica font on Solaris 2.5.
I know that Adobe donated a bunch of fonts to the Xfree86 project and was wondering if
this included an "older" version of their Helvetica Font? Also, what is the legality
of using the font from the Solaris package on a Redhat 9.0 distribution?
If you need anymore information, let me know.
Thanks,
-Brett
