Are Helvetica Regular and Helvetica Medium the same font?

Contributor ,
May 03, 2010 May 03, 2010

We have just added a new computer to our workgroup, and it is using Windows 7.  We removed all of our software from the old computer (which was running Windows XP Pro) and installed it on the new computer (this includes InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop).  We are finding that when we open documents on this new computer that is says the font is missing from any document using Helvetica Medium.  Helvetica Regular is available, though.  Are these just two names for the same font?  Most of our work is in Helvetica and if we change fonts at all, we will have to reproof all of it...which would mean HOURS of work for us. Any help or information would be very appreciated!

No, they are different. Medium has a heavier stroke (see below).
