I asked the original poster to send me the font, and he did. He said
he wouldn't post it in the United States because he wasn't sure what
was legal, and because he didn't want to send the font overseas more
than once. As a result, I believe I am the only person in North
America with a copy of the font. He told two other people to send
mail to me to ask for the font, and asked me to distribute it freely.

Therefore, if everyone thinks it's legal, I'm willing to mail the
font to other people and/or make it available for Arpanet FTP (which
is a lot easier for me). 

Incidentally, Screen Helvetica is a really nice font, especially in
the larger point sizes. I'm not sure if the letter spacing matches
the laserwriter Helvetica, however. I'm also not sure if the 12-point
will look OK in high quality mode on an Imagewriter.
