Try this when you get some time.
I think Georgia is a similar font if you are in a pinch.
Check to see what fonts you have.
Also | Code: | | find /usr/share/ -iname 'helvet'* |
ight give you some clues.
However I do remember being really happy with fonts after I did that how to.
Cheers

Georgia is *nothing* like Helvetica!!
Arial is close.
| Code: | | eix arial && eix helvet |
give me nothing, though!
How do you install either in Gentoo?
edit: this post was inspired by this metafilter thread. |

| You need font-adobe-100dpi for the Helvetica font. |

Helvetica is an Adobe Font...
I am not sure which package it is in, but I guess it is one of those
| Code: | media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi
media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi |
as the others are utopia fonts.
cheers

EDIT: but it does not appear in the OOo dropdown menu....  |
