Helvetica 是浏览器基本字体吗？
谁能告诉我 Helvetica 是否是浏览器基本字体？ 如果是这样，它无法在我的 PS CS 4 中加载。
我可以从哪里下载它？
Can anyone tell me whether Helvetica is a browser base font? If so, it is not loading in my PS CS 4.
Where can I download it from?

不，Helvetica 不是“基本字体”。
“bast 字体”的最佳定义可能是 Microsoft 的 Web 核心字体，而 Helvetica 并不在那里。
如果您想要 Helvetica，您要么必须拥有 Mac（它是 mac OS X 上的默认字体之一），要么 从 Linotype（拥有它的公司）购买它。
No, Helvetica is not a "base font".
The best definition of "bast font" is probably Microsoft's Core Fonts for the web, and Helvetica's not there.
If you want Helvetica, you either have to get a Mac (it's one of the default fonts on mac OS X), or buy it from Linotype (the company that owns it).
这实际上是对马克·兰塞姆的评论，但它变得太大了。
不仅有 Helvetica 的免费 URW++ 克隆版本（由 GNU 资助，作为 GhostScript 项目的一部分），它还是外观最漂亮的 Helvetica 替代品之一：URW++ Nimbus Sans。 不幸的是，对于很多用途来说，它是 PS Type 1 字体。
FreeSans 字体（openfont 文件格式）也来自 GNU 项目，基于 Nimbus Sans。 大多数 Linux 发行版都附带它。 它比 Arial（尤其是在使用不支持 Micro Softs（专利）字体别名技术的计算机系统时在打印或屏幕上显示）甚至 Helvetica 更好看，并且支持大量 Unicode 字形，但它不兼容公制Helvetica 和 Arial 一样。
有一种免费的（从各个意义上来说）Arial 替代字体，名为 Liberation Sans，它在公制上与 Arial 兼容，因此与 Helvetica 兼容，但它看起来不太像 Helvetica，也不太像 Arial。
Nimbus、Arial、Liberation Sans 或 FreeSans 都不支持 Helvetica 的所有样式变体（更不支持 Helvetica Neue（一种与 OS X 捆绑的字体）的所有变体）。 Nimbus 是上述免费字体中与 Helvetica 兼容性最好的字体，因为它支持 PostScript 2 打印机和旧版 Mac 操作系统中 Helvetica 附带的所有变体。 但大多数现代文字处理器（当然不是网络浏览器）无法利用所有变体，甚至那些支持 PS Type 1 字体的变体也是如此。
Nimbus 和 FreeSans 遵循“带有字体例外的 GPL”许可证，允许嵌入到文档中。 大多数商业字体不允许在没有高额许可费的情况下嵌入。 Windows 和 OS X 附带的任何字体都不允许嵌入，与其他 MS 或 Apple 软件捆绑的几乎所有字体也不允许嵌入，也不允许将字体与数字文档一起运送到打印店。 对于大多数商业字体，打印店必须拥有该字体的许可证才能打印文档，这对于 Windows 字体尤其困难，因为大多数（全部？）Micro Soft 字体许可证不允许在 MS Windows 之外使用（MS用于 Web 的 Web Core 字体不适合打印，与较新的字体版本不兼容，并且支持非常有限的字形集），因此它们还必须在预印本链中的各处使用基于 MS Windows 的软件。
This is actually a comment to Mark Ransom but it grew to big to be a comment.
Not only is there a a free URW++ clone of Helvetica, financed by GNU as part of the GhostScript project, it is one of the nicest looking Helvetica replacemants out there: URW++ Nimbus Sans. Unfortunately, for a lot of uses, it is a PS Type 1 font.
The FreeSans font (in the openfont file format), also from the GNU project, is based on Nimbus Sans. It comes with most Linux distributions. It is much better looking then Arial (especially in print or on screen when using computer systems that don't support Micro Softs (patented) font aliasing technology) and perhaps even Helvetica, and support lots of Unicode glyphs, but it is not metric compatible with Helvetica, like Arial.
There is a free (in every sense of the word) Arial substitute font, named Liberation Sans, that is metric compatible with Arial and hence Helvetica, but it doesn't really look like Helvetica and not much like Arial either.
Neither Nimbus, Arial, Liberation Sans or FreeSans support all the style variations of Helvetica (and even less all the variations of Helvetica Neue, a font that come bundled with OS X). Nimbus is the most Helvetica compatible of the free fonts mentioned, as it support all the variations that came with Helvetica in a PostScript 2 printer and with older Mac OS. But most modern day wordprocessors (and certainly not web-browsers) can't make use of all the variations, not even those that support PS Type 1 fonts.
Nimbus and FreeSans is under the "GPL with a font exception" license, which allow embedding in documents. Most commercial fonts don't allow embedding without a heavy license fee. Embedding is not allowed for any fonts that come with Windows and OS X, neither for almost all of the fonts bundled with other MS or Apple software, nor do they allow the fonts to be shipped with the digital document to a print shop. With most commercial fonts, the print shop must own a license for the font to print the document, this is especially difficult with Windows fonts, since most (all?) Micro Soft fonts licenses don't allow for use outside MS Windows (the MS Web Core fonts for the Web is no good for print, not metric compatible with newer font versions and support a very limited set of glyphs), so they must also use MS Windows based software everywhere in the preprint chain.
Helvetica 是仅 Mac 上的标准系统字体。
但是，您可以做的是在 CSS 字体声明中指定 Helvetica，但还要确保包含 Windows 用户的后备字体。
例如
Helvetica is a standard system font on Macs only.
What you can do however is specify Helvetica in a CSS font declaration, but also make sure that you include fallback fonts for Windows users.
e.g.
如果您使用的是 Windows PC，并且不想购买 Helvetica，Arial 与 Helvetica 有点相似（穿上阻燃服）。
Microsoft Sans Serif 具有水平和垂直终端（剪切），比 Arial 更像 Helvetica，但前提是您不需要斜体； Microsoft Sans Serif 的斜体的斜度太大。
If you are on a Windows PC, and don't want to purchase Helvetica, Arial is somewhat similar to Helvetica (puts on flame retardant suit).
Microsoft Sans Serif, with its horizontal and vertical terminals (cuts), is more Helvetica-like than Arial is, but only if you don't need italics; Microsoft Sans Serif's italics have far too much slope.
URW++ 在 GPL 许可下提供了一系列标准 Postscript 字体； 我相信这包括 Helvetica 的克隆，尽管它可能不以这个名字命名。
There is a collection of standard Postscript fonts available from URW++ under the GPL license; I believe this includes a clone of Helvetica, although it might not go by that name.
为了最大限度地提高浏览器运行 Helvetica 的机会，您可以设置良好的后备堆栈。 （我假设你实际上指的是 Helvetica neue，它在设计中更常用）。

正如之前所说，Helvetica 是 mac 上的基础字体，但在 PC 上并不常用。 这意味着超过 10% 的人（就桌面设备而言）会开箱即用。
如果您希望您的网站在所有地方都显示相同的内容，您可能需要购买该字体。 您可以在很多网站上购买 Helvetica。 价格各不相同，但对于小型网络使用而言，一种类型的变化至少需要 30 英镑（40 美元）。
另一种选择是使用不同的字体。 在 Google 字体中打开 sans https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans 经常被推荐，但在我看来，它并不是真正的替代品。
有很多文章列出了与 Helvetica 类似的字体，其中一些是免费的。 这篇文章可能是一个很好的起点：

To maximise your chances of browser running Helvetica you can set good fallback stack. ( I am assuming here you actually mean Helvetica neue which is more often used in designs ).

As said before, Helvetica is base font on mac, but not often used on pcs. That means it's a bit more than 10% of people (desktop speaking) that will have it working out of box.
If you want your website to display everywhere this same you probably want to buy the font. You can buy Helvetica on a lot of websites. Prices vary but for small web usage, you are looking at 30 pounds minimum for one type variation ( 40 dollars ).
Another alternative is to use different font. Open sans in google fonts https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans is often recommended although, in my opinion, it's not really a replacement.
There's a lot of articles that are listing similar fonts to Helvetica, some of them are free. Good starting point could be this article:
