Fonts are one commodity that too many people take for granted and assume asfreeware. 'Helvetica' is indeed a copyrighted font by Adobe. If you want tobuy Helvetica, it is part of the Type Basics package and will cost $99.00(see www.adobe.com).
Type is no different than any other designed property.If you can get by using Arial (which is free), that's great - just keep inmind that the characters ARE different and spacing, leading, kerning, andwrapping will not match to Helvetica. However, if you absolutely have tohave Helvetica - I say, 'bite the bullet' and spend the money.If we as Architects and designers of copyrighted material want others toobey the copyright laws when dealing with our medium, then we must alsorespect the copyright of other work and value it's uniqueness and aesthetic.Mike Gatzke'STU @ GGA' wrote in messagenews:[email protected].

Thank you, STU. Well apart from the theory and legality and everything else, to answeryour question and as Mike mentioned if you can live with Arial, then youcan setup a FONTMAPing file here is something from the help.You can designate fonts to be substituted for other fonts. The fontsused for the text in your drawing are determined by the text style and,for multiline text, by individual font formats applied to sections oftext. Sometimes you might want to ensure that your drawing uses onlycertain fonts, or perhaps you might want to convert the fonts you usedto other fonts. You can use any text editor to create font mappingtables for both of these purposes.You can use these font mapping tables to enforce corporate fontstandards, or to facilitate off-line printing. For example, if you sharedrawings with consultants, you may want to use a font mapping table tospecify what font AutoCAD substitutes when it encounters a text objectcreated with another font.
Similarly, to edit the drawing usingquicker-drawing SHX fonts and then switch to more complex fonts for thefinal plot, you can set up a font mapping table that converts each SHXfont to an equivalent.The font mapping table is a plain ASCII text (FMP) file containing onefont mapping per line. Each line contains the base name of the font file(with no directory name or path) followed by a semicolon (;) and thename of the substitute font file. The substitute file name includes afile extension such as.ttf.For example, you can enter the following in a font map table to specifythat the times.ttf TrueType font file be substituted for the romanc.shxfont file:romanc.shx; times.ttfAutoCAD comes with a default font mapping table in the acad.fmp file inthe Support folder. You can edit this file using any ASCII text editor.You also can specify a different font mapping table file in the Optionsdialog box, or you can specify the font mapping file using theFONTMAPsystem variable.'
