No, but arial is, which is very similar. In fact, if for some reason you still have Windows you can find that font in c:\windows\fonts. A lot of websites are set to use verdana and arial as well as helvetica, so it's probably a good idea to have one of them on your system. Of course, a good question is why has your helvetica font disappeared? -- David P.
