bash - textutil converts font to Helvetica-Light instead of Helvetica

Question

In bash on mac os 10.6.8, I'm using textutil to convert a .txt file to .rtf:

textutil -convert rtf -font Helvetica file.txt

Yet to my frustration, it always converts the font to Helvetica-Light, instead of just Helvetica. How can I make sure it chooses just the regular Helvetica?

Answer 1

Looking at the /Library/Fonts folder, the font name shown was HelveticaCY.

Modify the command to be:

textutil -convert rtf -font "HelveticaCY" file.txt
