FYI, Helvetica Neue is not a WIndows system font. It is a system font that is bundled with recent versions of the MacOS with some form of the words Helvetica and Neue in the name of the font. If you opened an InDesign document with that font missing, it is likely (but not necessarily) a document recently processed on a Macintosh.

The real name of the font is indeed Helvetica Neue. You can license it (not purchase it) from most major font foundries including Adobe, Linotype, etc.

Hello Dov,

may I check with you - if I purchase http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage&code=1766 by clicking on "Buy this Package", does it allow me to use @font-face to publish it online?

My Project is a commercial website and I am thinking of using Helvetica Neue to display on my website.

Thanks!

I do not believe so! But I will confirm that for you.
