I report that the font Helvetica Regular still doesn't appear in text tool in Photoshop 20.0.7. Hope it will be fixed soon.

I would suspect that the font is either missing or corrupt.  Helvetica isn't a font that Adobe supplies or messes with.  You can verify the integrity of your font cache following the steps here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop.html

Thanks,

I can confirm: version 21.1.1 fixes the problem!

This issue should be addressed by the 21.1.1 update. Let us know if you're still having trouble.

This method works for me! You might need to create the folder if it isn't there.

  sudo mkdir /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Fonts

should do the trick.

I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.1, Photoshop is recent too. All updates installed. Problem still persists. I will try the method proposed by Silk-m.

Thank you for your input, Silk-m!

macOS Catalina 10.15.1 + Photoshop 21.0.1, cannot fix the problem. I currently work around the following ways:
