Helvetica
 

Been advised to use helevicta font.

But it's not on my version of word.

Any ideas?

re: Helvetica
 

Do you mean Helvetica, and what version of Word do you have?

This may help...

Yeah that's the one. 2007 I think

Any particular reason why someone has told you to use Helvetica?

re: Helvetica
 

According to http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...on-your-r-sum- , it's the best font to use on a CV.

re: Helvetica
 

I don't know if it is the reason the OP wants to use it but it is the mandatory font for tobacco price lists since the display ban.

re: Helvetica
 

You have to buy Helvetica to use it on Windows.

It's pretty hard unless you know exactly what to look for - took me three tries to get 20/20.

re: Helvetica
 

Yeah. That's the story I was reading

re: Helvetica
 

I use Arial, and Times New Roman on my CV.

but I will change Times New Roman to Garamond.

Never let me down.

The reason is I submit my CV electronically, and if you use any "special font" that the person who downloads it doesn't have, their system will use another font and make it look crap.

£153 for a font, well I cannot say my answer to that here.

True that mind. I once emailed a word document to a printer guy but when I went to pick up the document was all cock eyed as he didn't have the font I used on his word.

I always used PDFs after that

re: Helvetica
 

I have Oriental font support loaded so Chinese and Japanese sites look correct. Most don't so they get loads of little squares with hex numbers in.

Same applies elsewhere. Using a default Windoze font is the most compatible approach or as you say a PDF.

re: Helvetica
 

PDFs aren't really a solution given most people are unable or don't know how to actually put the font in the PDF.

re: Helvetica
 

Plus the fact agencies want word files so the take out information when they show your CV to clients.

re: Helvetica
 

Apart from atCQR Arial and Helvetica are identical

re: Helvetica
 

My system at has Helvetica, that explains why I couldn't tell the difference

re: Helvetica
 

There are plenty more differences than that.

re: Helvetica
 

Such as?

re: Helvetica
 

See my previous post.

Just for starters, e. G. c. s. r. S. &. y. g. K. f.
And most of them have bigger differences than the 'a' you mention.

Re: Helvetica
 

Agreed. Although they have similarities, they are different enough for someone to notice.

For example, I almost had all the vans nationwide reliveried because they were in Arial not Helvetica. It was only the upcoming rebrand that made me not bother.
