One of our users has requested a Helvetica light font. I looked in the
Adobe catalog, and it appears that the Helvetica Light is what is already
distributed with the standard PostScript printers. However, a graphic
designer tells me that what comes out of the LaserWriters, the QMSs, and
the Linotronic 300s is Helvetica Medium. He showed me a sample of H Light,
Medium, and Dark, and I had to agree with him. So is the Helvetica
supplied with the printers Light or Medium. If the latter, who markets a
true Light?

Thanks
