    It most certainly is not Helvetica. Oooh, I could crush a grape!

    The ‘subtle’ differences between the two are what makes the two fonts completely different. I could spot the difference immediately. Helvetica, although it is a fairly boring font, has some elegance, whereas Arial looks like it was designed by a blind monkey.

    I feel better now. I’m alright. 🙂

    John, PM me your e-mail address, and I’ll send you the whole lot.
