Hey.

I've got a Problem with my Adobe InDesign CS6.

When i want to open a file it says there are missing Fonts.

The Fonts that are missing are:

Helvetica Neue LT LT 55 Roman

Helvetica Neue LT LT 75 Bold

Helvetica Neue LT LT 45 Light

So i looked them up in the Adobe store to buy them, but i can only find the Helvetica Neue LT STD 55 Roman/Bold/Light.


So now my question is, are these the same fonts?

Or where can i buy the fonts that are missing?

Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know the justification for the ability to offer this particular Helvetica Neue LT Std font package for download?

It would seem that, unless it has officially been released as freeware, one would still have to get a license in order to use it? (Which currently does not seem to be on offer anywhere – only for the “Pro” version.)

Your fonts have been old T1 fonts which are not supported anymore in modern OS, Win and Mac.

With InDesign you could use them for a while when you copy them into the Font folder which is found in the same folder as your InDesign program.

But I would strongly recommend to buy licenses of modern OTF fonts, these have often a Std or Pro added to their name. Pro have more glyphs and have in most cases support for Cyrillic, Eastern European (Czech, Poland, Hungarian, Turkish) and Greece alphabet, and complete math characters.

When you change to the modern OTF you will have to redefine your styles and check your text flow as some glyph might have a different metric.

I believe those will be the correct fonts. You can also purchase from Helvetica® Neue LT Std - Desktop font « MyFonts, but they look a little more expensive there.
