I posted a request like this some time ago but got absolutely no response
whatever (but then our mail/news feed was a bit flaky at the time :-).

I'm looking for MetaFont sources for pseudo-Helvetica font (our organisation
uses rather a lot of it...). The Computer Modern Sans-serif family are fine
for most purposes but they don't have the same feel as Helvetica.

Any and all pointers (or sources!) gratefully received.

	Thanks in advance,

		Neil
