    Helvetica Neue is a default font on Macs, but is rare on PCs as it is not supplied with Windows so would need to be purchased separately.

    You need to set a full font stack in your CSS so that a visitors browser can use a ‘next-best’ font if the primary font is not on the computer/device. You can list several fonts in order of preference.

    If you want to use helvetica-neue as the primary font, an appropriate font stack line in your css might be:

    font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;

    So just add this to your custom css box in theme options:

    body {font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;}

    Thanks cubecolour!
