Helvetica Font

[MahaB82A]

I downloaded Helvetica Bold font from this site. In sqare bracket it says that [Free Sans Bold]. The name added to Ps is FreeSans . Is there any way change this name to Helvetica Bold in Ps? or How to handle this type of  situation?

Helvetica isn't actually free. It can be purchased from Linotype via MyFonts.com here:

The Basic Family Pack should get you the essentials at $172.

The one you have is a free clone/ripoff. How much different it has to be from the original to avoid copyright issues I don't know.

Having Helvetica as the default system font (or even having it included at all) is the one thing I always envied Mac users. Is it still there in MacOS?

Great documentary if you can find it:

Thanks for the information. There was a font site by Adobe to add in  Ps. I couldn't find out that again. Do you know the link?
