My biggest client has asked for my help in figuring out how the two of us (and another contractor) can all be using the exact same fonts so that we don't get asked for fonts when we open InDesign or Illustrator documents we've passed back and forth. The materials are all in Helvetica, which is of course a minefield for machines having a bunch of different versions installed, having conflicts with Mac OS, etc.
First, what format (OTF, TrueType, Type 1 or Type 3) fonts can be shared by PC and Mac? Will the names be exactly the same on both platforms, or will there be differences in spacing, capitalization, etc., that will trip us up?
