Helvetica Neue for Web? 88 Responses

Well, all Macs have it, so the smartest would be to just do your font stack as font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif. Letting windows fallback to Arial (which, despite being Arial, will be better hinted on Windows than Helvetica would be, particularly for body copy)
If you must have Helvetica Neue in all instances, then fonts.com have it. http://www.fonts.com/font/linoty…

I would go with NathanAdams said...specify Helvetica Neue with Helvetica and Arial as a fallback. I've never seen any site embed Helvetica as a web font.
If you must embed, you'll probably need to purchase the webfont. Fontsquirrel will generate the files you need, but not the license. Would def not use that for a client project.

Most foundries don't allow for self-hosting (or they may require an additional licence to do so), which is what the Font Squirrel route entails. Check that they explicitly allow it (or email them and ask). Otherwise, stick with one of the font-hosting services.
