Helvetica Neue Font Family Download Reddit

[Angelique Syria]

SoI just purchased another copy of Designer for a new PC. Running win10 pro 64 bit. Updated to 1.9 and thought I was ready to go. I downloaded a copy of the Helvetica Neue family (11 styles - Helvetica Neue, and 2 of each of the others i.e. Helvetica Neue Light and Helvetica Neue Lt), activated it on my font manager (FontBase) and only 7 styles showed up, 6 were the same and one was different.

So then I deleted the files from the manager (only ones I've added) and installed them directly. Same issue but different ones showed up. Read every forum on reddit and affinity that I could find about this and am still lost. Downloaded the file from three different places (cofonts, etc) all to the same issue.

Deleted by hand from windows but only two showed up in the list. As soon as I deleted one, another style would show up. Only five will install at a time as windows says it has already been installed and asks if I want to replace with the other (light vs lt). I am at a loss.

Checked other programs to see if it's Windows or Affinity and in paint I can see HelveticaNeue and HelveticaNeue BlackCondensed. In Affinity I see HelveticaNeue italic and 6 options for Bold. If I only install 2 to windows those show up in Affinity.

Mac OS X comes with 14 Helvetica Neue styles, I wonder what the difference is between your version and the Macs as far as showing Bold goes. Could you upload a font file so I or someone can take a look see, or maybe download something like FontForge, or Birdfont to see if you can see the issue.

Ok.

I found a post that explains about windows and font families, it's from 2012 so I'm not sure it relates to todays situation but it may shine a light on a potential avenue of investigation.

I downloaded a copy of the Helvetica Neue family (11 styles - Helvetica Neue, and 2 of each of the others i.e. Helvetica Neue Light and Helvetica Neue Lt), activated it on my font manager (FontBase) and only 7 styles showed up, 6 were the same and one was different.

The fonts are most likely broken.

There are a number of Helvetica downloads available out in the ether and all of them are broken.

Either the names are all broken (like your issue), or the names work, glyphs are missing, and all the OpenType features are missing.

Post a link to where you got them and I can tell you for sure.
