Built in HN and Nimbus Sans are very similar in all respects but point size. NOT exploiting the Mac's built in "NimbusSansNovusDBoldCondensed" at all) because it leads to a design that is more uniform across browsers. You can get it at for $20 (desktop) and $20 (web, 10k pageviews). This only includes fonts installed on this server: Try the Local Font List tool to see the fonts installed on your machine. In fact, it is also derived from Helvetica. This is a list of fonts that support Unicode Character 'NOT EQUAL TO' (U+2260).

UPDATE: I discovered a much closer match to Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold is Nimbus Sans Novus D Condensed bold. Then if a Mac user loads your site they see Helvetica Neue, but if they're on another platform they see Franklin.

In both cases you also get to download the font for your desktop so you can use it in Photoshop for comps.Ī very cheap compromise is to buy Franklin from fontspring and then use "HelveticaNeue-CondensedBold" as the preferred font in your CSS.

: License the real font as a webfont from.I hope this post helps someone who might bump into this font issue.In case anyone is still looking for Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold, you essentially have two options. Here's Chrome now on Windows with Helvetica Neue removed: Any designers want to weigh-in the comments? I think the best solution (even though I'm deleting Helvetica Neue) would be to use an explicit Web Font in your stylesheets when possible rather than relying on a system font like Helvetica, even though they are the ultimate fallback. While it's obvious it would have major effects in retrospect, I had never realized that a machine-wide "common" font installation like this could mess up font rendering in my browser. For Windows, the Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome and Opera browsers allow the non-Unicode Symbol font to be specified in HTML or CSS, to enable the basic Greek alphabet and many other special characters to be displayed.

The Stylesheet said "hey, gimme Helvetica" and the browser said "Cool, here's one." With Mac OS X 10.1, Apple supply a system font called Symbol that has the characters at their Unicode code points. It's just not a Web Font, and while it's great for the giant sizes I needed for my talk, it's lousy for the web.īoth IE and Chrome were picking up that my system had a Helvetica available on the system and used it instead.

The Helvetica Neue font that I installed for my presentation is very poorly hinted (if at all) at small sizes like the one's being used. However, Helvetica is super common font that is mentioned in Stylesheets - often explicitly when CSS is designed on a Mac - and Arial on Windows usually steps in as the replacement on Windows. It's a lovely font and I think it worked nicely for my talk and looked great in PowerPoint. Well, what's changed is that I gave a talk at Xamarin Evolve this week, and in preparation, installed Helvetica Neue. What's going on here? What's changed? Doesn't it seem like "What's changed?" is the question we engineer-types ask the most?

I also happened to be at the Xamarin Evolve conference this week, so I mentioned it to the team down there, thinking they could pick another font.įast forward, and I'm on the plane, checking my email with Gmail Offline (the HTML5 offline version of Gmail) and noticed this. In fact, Jin Yang ( had to abandon Montserrat, our Web Font of choice, for a more conservative one whilst doing the redesign due to Google Chrome's poor font rendering on Windows. I emailed and mentally blamed Google Chrome as it's well know they've been having trouble with their Web Font rendering of late. The hinting is OK, but the font is somehow "wrong." Note the subtle"bites" that have been taken out of the g and s, but the c is OK. A few days ago, I visited the website and noticed this.
