Don,

Helvetica has always had a true italic, even going back to foundry and Lino days. I don't recall seeing a Helvetica "Oblique" (the windblown roman) except in rudimentary PC-created text documents where italic wasn't installed or perhaps properly selected. And then, Times and every other font would appear as oblique as well.

When I began using Macs (around 1990-1991), my Apple PostScript printers generated proper itals.

Neil
