how can I install helvetica font?

I purchased office 2013 only to realise Helvetica is not pre-installed.

Where do I find and install Helvetica font for free? Preferrably free. If it has to be paid please give me the link too.

How do I then install it? Steps to install it.

How about Cambria and Calibri? where do I get these fonts? I do not have previous office installed. Only 2013 office. Will these fonts appear for all office apps-excel, word etc once installed?

Thanks in advance.
Helvetica is not a font provided by Microsoft. It is included with some HP laser printers, or if you really need this font rather than a similar non-serif font then it can be obtained from Linotype - http://www.linotype.com/526/helvetica-family.html

Calibri and Cambria are included with Windows 7 and Windows 8 (one of which would be required for Office 2013). Only fonts the currently active printer is capable of printing are displayed in Word.

Your free download is a pirated copy of an Adobe font. It's also only only the Roman (Normal) weight, there's no bold, italic or bold italic.

For a legal source for all weights, MyFonts is pretty good.

So what's funny is, the "regular" may not be regular, but they do have italic, plus bold, plus bold italic! I downloaded them all, and to me, they didn't look fake. So I personally thought it was real. But maybe you're right!

It's not a fake, it's a real Adobe font, but Adobe only gives away fonts with a software purchase. So this has been posted illegally.

In a text editor like NotePad++, you can open any font and read the foundry information. This font reads Copyright (c) 1985, 1987, 1989, 1990 Adobe Systems Incorporated.  All rights reserved. Helvetica is a trademark of Linotype AG and/or its subsidiaries.

Thanks Carmello, I too love the Helvetica Font & appreciate you sharing the link.  Back in the 90's I had an HP Laser Printer (I cannot even remember all of the supporting software that came with it), but if offered a wealth of fonts & helvetica was my fave.  Thanks again.

I suggest you try Calibri Light. I find it looks a lot like Helvetica, it looks really good and has become my favorite font for Excel and professionnal documents

Arial, which is a Windows Core Font, has the same font metrics as Helvetica, and the difference in letter forms is subtle.
