Windows 10: Helvetica Regular Font

In Chrome I posted this problem to Microsoft


Microsoft how do you remove Helvetica Neue from my pc. the stupid OS decided to automatically throw it into Google Chrome and Firefox displaying the font in all major websites such as eBay or Facebook. It has become annoying, and it's definitely a non natural feel. I've tried the extensions from the Google store to change it back to normal but it appears that the text settings have either Times New Roman or Arial installed, there's no sign of Helvetica. I really don't want to reinstall windows again, I never did anything to the OS other than dropping the font files onto the Windows's Font control panel. How do I get rid of it as deleting it would tell me an app is using it, and when there's no app using it pressing delete does nothing at all. It feels like a virus!

Microsoft Windows 10 - Helvetica Fonts Issue

Hi Desiree,

• Yes, it is the first time after installing and deleting a few fonts. I had some Helvetica fonts installed that I could see in Office for example, but not in the Fonts folder. So I wanted to deleted every Helvetica font and reinstall them, but everything
  seems messed up right now and not working.
  
• It is the Office 365, up-to-date, but the image was just to show what fonts are being seen by my any software - it is the same for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. The video is important and shows everything.
  
• I deleted every Helvetica font that I could see in Fonts folder, and deleted any 'helvetica' files that I could see with 'dir' command in Command Prompt. So I should have no more Helvetica fonts installed. After I have done that, I restarted to 'refresh'
  the Fonts.

 

Helvetica font not Swapping to Arial font on Windows 10 & Windows 7

Hi,

Check to see if the Helvetica fonts are installed on the work stations that are substituting that font.

go to Start, type run in search then ok, type control fonts then ok.

look through the fonts to see if the Helvetica font is installed, if they are not installed on these WS then do the same search on the Work Stations that do display the font correctly, select them and copy them to usb drive.

then go to :

Start, type windows explorer in the search, open windows explorer and select C Drive, open
windows folder then font folder, copy fonts from
usb drive to font folder, windows will install the new fonts.

restart PC

then open the pdf files.

or

install cloned fonts....

Coolvetica Regular, Kelvetica Regular and Kelvetica Nobis Regular these are available for free.

Helvetica font not Swapping to Arial font on Windows 10 & Windows 7

Hi,

We are experiencing issue related to the way Windows handle Helvetica font when it is being used in the external files received. When we receive a Indesign file having Helvetica font it gets Swapped to the Arial font automatically on some workstations when
we export the PDF file but on some workstations it did not.

We checked the settings of both workstations on which font swapping happen and where it did not, but we did not observe any difference. Also, we checked the Windows Registry entry at,

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\

We did not observed any difference on both workstations and the Helvetica was mapped to Arial.

Can you please suggest that how to make the default substitution for ‘Helvetica’ font to be ‘Arial’ font windows. Please suggest the setting which will help us to auto substitute missing Helvetica Font with Arial front while exporting PDF from Indesign file.

We are using Windows 7 & Windows 10 machines.

Adobe InDesign version is CS5.5

Please let me know if any further details are required.

Regards,

Shashank
