I really enjoyed this film, but in telling the story of the cultural power and ubiquity of Helvetica, I think it dramatically underplays the fact that variations on Helvetica have been pre-installed on most modern personal computers by default.

Arial is essentially a Helvetica variation. At it's most charitable, Arial is to Helvetica as RC Cola is to Coke, with Monotype owning Arial and Linotype owning Helvetica.
