But Nix thinks that, like a software upgrade on a phone, eventually everyone will upgrade.

Companies and their designers will have to buy the rights to license Helvetica Now, which means it wonвЂ™t replace everything you see right away. вЂњYouвЂ™re following clearly what the master has done before you, and the big difference in our case is that weвЂ™re looking to make the type, the artwork, more suitable to the age in which we live.вЂќДЄs for the Helvetica you already know, it will remain on T-shirts and websites for now. вЂњIt is kind of like visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art with an easel and canvas and painting a Rembrandt,вЂќ he says. Those details gave Helvetica its original charm, and Nix says Monotype's designers paid extra attention to bringing these back into Helvetica Now.

Helvetica Now also restores some of the original characteristics of the font that have been lost along the way-a single-story lowercase 'a,' a capital 'R' with straight legs. ItвЂ™s like falling in love all over again.вЂќ To him, it's like looking at вЂњsomeone you love, when the light hits them the perfect way on a Saturday morning, and you suddenly see them like youвЂ™ve never seen them before. Nix, who has spent two years reengineering the letters, hopes it will let designers see Helvetica in an entirely new way.

ItвЂ™s designed to be more legible in miniature, like on the tiny screen of an Apple Watch, and hold its own in large-scale applications like gigantic billboards. The new version, Helvetica Now, updates each of Helvetica's 40,000 characters to reflect the demands of the 21st century. Now, Monotype has given Helvetica a face-lift, in the hopes that it can restore some of the magic to the iconic typeface. Apple followed suit in 2013 with its own font. Google stopped using it in 2011, in lieu of a custom font that looks a lot like Helvetica, but better. Major companies, which had used Helvetica for years in branding and other materials, had begun to eschew the typeface. The whiff of Helvetica had begun to stink. So it's safer to give everything except the 'regular' and 'bold' weights their own family name, ie 'MyFont Extra Bold' as part of the family name.A few years ago, Nix and others at Monotype decided a change was due. Now, for some reason, some windows applications may be able to cope with more fonts in the same family and it'll work, but many won't. So font families with more than two weights need to have different values for 'family name' for each weight (although the 'book' and 'bold' weight may still share a family name). Problem is, Windows only traditionally allows four fonts per family, including two weights, and slanted (italic or oblique) versions of these weights. So all four Times New Roman fonts (roman, bold, italic, and bold italic) share the same 'family name' of 'Times New Roman'. Inside your font files is a 'family name' which is the same for an entire family of fonts. I wrote a reply, but then did some more research and realised I was all wrong.

Looking like maybe a windows 10 issue? Anyone else come across this?ДЇont families that you download from major vendors should be configured to 'just work' in Windows.

The ones listed in windows are the ones that show in Affinity not the ones that show in Paint.Дon't have access to my other pc to test on it right now.

If I only install 2 to windows those show up in Affinity. In Affinity I see HelveticaNeue italic and 6 options for Bold. I am at a loss.Д¬hecked other programs to see if it's Windows or Affinity and in paint I can see HelveticaNeue and HelveticaNeue BlackCondensed. Only five will install at a time as windows says it has already been installed and asks if I want to replace with the other (light vs lt). As soon as I deleted one, another style would show up. Downloaded the file from three different places (cofonts, etc) all to the same issue.Дeleted by hand from windows but only two showed up in the list. Read every forum on reddit and affinity that I could find about this and am still lost. So then I deleted the files from the manager (only ones I've added) and installed them directly. Helvetica Neue Light and Helvetica Neue Lt), activated it on my font manager (FontBase) and only 7 styles showed up, 6 were the same and one was different. I downloaded a copy of the Helvetica Neue family (11 styles - Helvetica Neue, and 2 of each of the others i.e. Updated to 1.9 and thought I was ready to go. So I just purchased another copy of Designer for a new PC.
