Lines: 13 Screen Helvetica is a modified version of the Helvetica font designed to look better on the Mac screen. Its for those of you who like printing on the LW in Helvetica, but don't like the screen version and find using Geneva + font substitution annoying as Genevas proportions are different. Screen Helvetica is far from perfect, but it is much more readable than the original (in my view...). I hope you find it useful. I've posted the font files to comp.sources.mac (2 parts) in the UK. If anybody in the rest of the world is interested mail me amd I'll either post it to you or distribute further. I hope this is ok, but its 80K and I didn't wan't to throw it around the world without knowing if theres a demand.
