Helvetica?
Anyone knows where I can get the font Helvetica? The actual font, not the movie, or fake look-alikes.

These are the ones I had on my computer. They were in .dfont format which I don't think PCs can use so I converted them to .ttf.

Helvetica.ttf
HelveticaBold.ttf
HelveticaBoldOblique. ttf
HelveticaOblique.ttf

Here's ze original in case you are on a Mac: Helvetica.dfont

Holy crap. You're amazing. Thank you!

EDIT: Hmm, seems I can't use .ttf for some reason. o-o;
EDIT: Wait, that makes no sense - all the fonts on my PC are TTFs. Wtf?
EDIT: Downloaded the .dfont and convered it online, and got that to work. But as for the other four...yeah, Iunno.
