Okay so real talk, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the manual name, iykyk), and it's filed under PDF::Bu...elvetica(3) because even man page filenames get abbreviated sometimes πŸ™ˆ


πŸŽ€ What it actually is

This module holds the font-specific information for the plain, regular, no-frills Helvetica font β€” the one you reach for when you want that clean, classic, main character energy ✨

And here's the little plot twist, bestie: the metrics and the glyph list are both taken from the Arial typeface πŸ‘‘

Not a typo, not a glitch, not me misreading it β€” that's literally what the page says. Arial metrics and Arial glyph list, living inside the Helvetica module. Slay, honestly. 🫢
