Adding to what Tim said,
It's possible that you're experiencing problems with Helvetica just
because of a typo (you had written Helvitica). Also, it does not come
with Windows Vista or Microsoft Office.
However, If your user has it installed and doesn't have Arial installed
(unlikely, even on a Mac), then text styled with this will appear in
Helvetica font. The reason these towo are often associated is that they
are visually similar and readily available. If neither are available,
the browser will display the text in whatever sans serif font first
appears listed on the client system.
My personal feeling is that trying to specify fonts beyond "serif" and
"sans serif" is such a crapshoot that I never bother.
