Geneva font

Hello,
I am looking for a font that is similar to the geneva font. Can anyone suggest a close facsimile.
Thanks

First I thought this can not be true. But for a whole day nothing happened. Thus, OK, everyone has had the chance to shoot but nobody took it. So here we go.

You want a facsimile of a clone? Or just any clone? Or the Real Thing?

The clue is in the name: mother is Helvetica. Clones, amongst many, MANY!!!, others are swiss721 and geneva. Comes in 2 versions, one for PC and one for Mac. Slightly different.The Mac version can be found here http://www.pa.msu.edu/ftp/pub/misc/tek-phaser/ttfonts/
There is even a clone named bern! How imaginative clone makers are! But the worst of all, if you don't mind the minuscule differences;

THE ARIAL,

redrawn for screen - like the Times New Roman - but - like the Times New Roman - unfit for print - to say the least (Kat's humble opinion).
So search no further. You've got it. Unless, like all of us, you are waiting for the Emmenthaler.


Have fun and ... be nice to the cats
