Hello Tim, > WinXP > my WINDOWS/Fonts folder does not contain any Helvetica fonts
Installed/registered/activated fonts does not have to be located in the windows fonts folder. They can be located anywhere on your drives. Open your registry (start menu > Run > regedit) and inspect the entries in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ Type 1 Installer\Type 1 Fonts" and also in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ Fonts". Any according entries here? If not: Although the original "Helvetica" might be provided either by "resident" printer fonts from your printer driver or by any legacy mapping entries to Arial in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ FontSubstitutes", Helvetica Narrow and Condensed are probably not. Anyway: Try changing your default printer in the system control and/or your current printer in your application (e.g. to Adobe Acrobat) and check whether those fonts are still available.
