Hi @lars-henrikg72574187 Sorry to see you don't have any answers yet. There are several versions of Helvetica, and most are available as True Type or Open Type fonts. Adobe fonts does not include any versions of Helvetica.
There are some free downloads of Neue 97 Black (Condensed) you can find by searching online. (ETA: Be sure you check the license, as some are only for personal use.) Yes, it did take some time to switch some older projects over from Type 1 fonts. Nearly all fonts have a close cousin. Adobe and Google provide a lot of great fonts. But there are a few classics like Helvetica that have to be separately licensed.
That means if you have the Adobe version of Helvetica Neue in PostScript Type 1 format, you can convert those font files into the newer OpenType format. Then you can continue working without having to do anything else.
This started happening a few days ago and I can't figure it out. When using Chrome, any text with font-family Helvetica or 'Helvetica Neue' always render in a super heavy/bold font. For example, facebook now looks like this:
It only happens in Chrome. Firefox/IE work fine. It only seems to effect Helvetica fonts. Other fonts or no font-family defined render normally. When I switched computers the strange font actually appeared on the second computer as well making me think it's in a Chrome setting somewhere that stays with my account. Nothing in the Chrome settings/Show Advanced Settings/Web Content seems to effect it at all. When I copy and paste the text from Chrome into Word it renters normally and has Helvetica listed as the font. Although strangely when I choose the fonts drop-down Helvetica-Black is listed but not Helvetica.
This is a common problem with browsers on Windows. When sites specify Helvetica as the first font in their CSS "font-family" stanza Windows uses whatever first Helvetica font it can find to render the page.
I've often had to fix this in IE for customers and the solution was always to delete all Helvetica fonts, or use another browser if the customer required Helvetica to be installed. Strange it's now also affecting Chrome. I've mostly seen it in IE when Helvetica Compressed is installed and the website text is unreadable due to the kerning of that particular font.
Ok, so as I was writing the question I think I stumbled on the fix. In my installed fonts (Start/Run/Fonts), I somehow had Helvetica Black, but not any other version of Helvetica. It seems Chrome was picking the black version making everything look super bold. I certainly didn't manually install Helvetica Black on two computers in the last week, but it's possible that Chrome recently changed how it picks fonts or I used/installed some other software that installed Helvetica Black?
Helvetica-Black Black is a Black TrueType Font. It has been downloaded 1094 times. 6 users have given the font a rating of 4.5 out of 5. You can find more information about Helvetica-Black Black and it's character map in the sections below. Please verify that you're a human to download the font for free.
The primary print typefaces are Palatino, a serif font, and Helvetica, a sans serif font. Both fonts are available from various font houses in the recommended OpenType format. OpenType is a cross-platform file format that is compatible on both Apple and Windows computers.
Please can you help me with a custom CSS to apply Helvetica Bold across my nav bar and headers. ATM I have the system font Helvetica Neue at its biggest weight 700 but the brand demands Helvetica Bold.
Oh, I see... I will try to redesign the title block with another fonts, but I don't get why sometimes fails the bold one or the bold condensed, when it's always the same font (although it is not a standard font) because on the layout I see as I wanted to be printed on the pdf (it's look a bit strange, but when I zoom in the fonts looks fine, and the ones that recognize the pdf, looks fine too):

That is because of the nature of the font you are trying to use. I believe it is Postscript font (not true TTF), which even is not supported in Windows version of AutoCAD, but still supported on Mac platform.
I'd suggest you to avoid to use such kind of fonts.
You can find out the type of TTF (OTF) font with Font Book app. Here is an example of Postscript kind font:
I'm trying to write my paper in the Helvetica font. For that I installed the package fontspec and \setmainfontHelvetica. But when using \textbf nothing happens. The same goes for \textit. What do I have to do in order to get these working?
You might want to run luaotfload-tool --find "Helvetica" from the command line to test that LuaTeX has the font in its database, and fc-match "Helvetica" fron the command line to test that XeTeX can. If so, you can then look in the same directory or search for "Helvetica Bold".

I. Section 201.66 Standard Labeling FormatA. Overall1. The "Drug Facts" labeling is set off in a box or similar enclosure by the use of a barline with all black type printed on a white, color contrasting background.
So I 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.
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.

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.
Most of these fonts are installed and enabled automatically. Others in this list can be downloaded using Font Book, which is in your Applications folder. Fonts that haven't been downloaded appear dimmed in Font Book. New and updated fonts might be included with future macOS Sonoma updates.
These fonts are available only to documents that already use the font, or to apps that request the font by name. Some are older fonts that were included with earlier versions of macOS or Apple apps.
You can use Font Book to install and remove fonts, validate and resolve duplicate fonts, and restore the standard fonts that came with macOS Sonoma. For more information about Font Book, choose Font Book Help from the Help menu in Font Book.
Today I updated the OS on my MacBook Pro to 12.2.1 (Monterey) and re-installed the latest version of Inkscape (1.1.2). When I opened some SVG files that I need to update, the fonts (specifically Helvetica) were not displaying properly. Helvetica Bold looks fine, but the 'Normal' version is showing as a completely different font. I have taken a screenshot which shows the issue.
With Version 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 the fonts are messed up everywhere in the programme, appearing like a really condensed bold font, instead of the normal font (this is inanition to the Helvetica issue I described above):
When I close it the programme opens as normal and actually works fine with no lag, except that obviously I can't tell what any of the buttons are because the fonts are replaced by the weird numerical code symbols.
Groundhog day twice a day now? I have no clue whats causing this. Obviously its no longer "Helvetica Fractions" but a new unknown font. Any idea which one that is to disable it for a proofing test?
It is a great idea to limit yourself to only two typefaces for a project. 'Typeface' is the important term here, as opposed to 'font'.* You are free to use any font variants (weights, italics) within the same typeface and still retain the uniformity that the two-typeface rule was meant to create. Don't use too many different ones, though--dont be tempted to put all 16 weights of Montserrat into your branding project, unless it is a huge project and sixteen different use cases are required.
