Bob, The easiest way to get hold of Helvetica if you don't already have it is to purchase it from Adobe or another font vendor. (Of course, if you own Illustrator you will find Helvetica among the fonts on the installation CD.)
As far as which fonts are available in MapInfo, you should be able to use any font installed on your machine. That's the way it works on the Mac, so I imagine the PC is the same.
