In Photoshop Helvetica Regular is missing, and cannot be selected from drop down menus. The font is there and works in any other application. In Adobe Illustrator, too!
Any ideas?

Hi,
The following methods are irregular and I will not be responsible for any troubles.
Copy "Helvetica.ttc" from the system font folder to the following location.
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/Helvetica.ttc 
You can use Helvetica Regular with macOS Catalina 10.15.1 + Photoshop 21.0.1.
If the problem is corrected by updating macOS Catalina, please remove Helvetica.ttc.

Have you upgraded to 10.15.1 yet? Yes it's a documented bug, was supposed to have been fixed:
Also be sure Photoshop is updated as well.
If not, try CC 2019 and by all means join the above discussion, this is where the developers listen in.

Thank you Gene, I'm on a recent system and just did a fresh PS install yesterday. All up-to-date. Problem persits on my iMac as well as my Macbook-Pro.
Thanks for pointing me to the bug-report where I posted this issue as well. Seems like I am not alone here...

You should create a Fonts folder.
