I just updated my iTablet skin to work with the font "Helvetica CE" to make it look more like the original.
But other users may not have this font installed (because it's a pay-font, and it's not cheap ), so what about an option to fall back to another fontm if the first is not available?

So if the user doesn't have Helvetica CE, Rainmeter uses Arial instead.
Useful or not?
There is no need for that if an alternative font is Arial at least.
Arial is defined as a default font so when the user doesn't specify FontFace, Arial is automatically selected. In addition, when the font that the user specified is not found, Arial is automatically selected.

I wasn't sure what it "fell back" to when it couldn't load a font. So it's Arial? I thought it was MS-Serif or something.
My Rainmeter doesn't display anything when an incorrect font is specified...
The problem is, Helvetica is no free font.
If it was a free font, I would simply pack it along iTablet and use the LocalFont-feature.
Oddly,
This is my test. of course, "Helvetica CE" is not installed in this PC.

Anyway, as for your problem, I guess a windows users who have installed Helvetica are rare case. so meybe, the user who brings a result which uses Arial is almost the case.
After all, I think that it is better solution to look for the free font similar to Helvetica.
