Helvetica Narrow Normal font?

I am trying to import a pdf graphic sent to me and X3 wants to substitute a font for the one used, which is Helvetica Narrow Normal.

Does Corel X3 have this font?  The fonts on the CD are all listed by ttf### but no name ...?  Or can the font be downloaded someplace?  I need the font to be the same as what was sent to me in the pdf file.

 Any help appreciated!

  •  Hi Jenny,

    From what I can see X3 (and 12) do not include that font. I searched through the CD as well as my hard drive to no avail. It's not like it's some "obscure font", so I'm sure you can get your hands on a copy somewhere. Sorry I can't help. Good luck!

    • If you have ever had a Postscript printer you will have it in some form
      or other (I still have some 5¼" floppies of it I think!--and since I
      have had at least six postscript printers I have had much more up to
      date media.)

      Heres a thought--wander over and get Ghostscript which includes its own
      set of common Postscript fonts which I think includes that.

      Or simple substitute Arial narrow, which is Willy Gates's knockoff of it.

        It came with older versions of CD (it's called Switzerland Narrow) but I
        think it was dropped from X3 when they updated some of the fonts to
        OpenType.

        • We do not include the Helvetica font with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. A very close match to the Helvetica family that is included with X3 and X4 is the OpenType called "Swiss". You can buy the Helvetica font family from www.myfonts.com.
