Sorry about that and yes of course I'm using the most recent version.

By "professional" I mean I went to a website that looked legit (linotype.com)
and bought the font, as opposed to just pirating or using something from an
unknown foundry.
So it seems that the font I have is unhinted, hence the small size. I just
assumed that all TrueType/OpenType fonts that came from Linotype or other well
recognized foundries were loaded to the gills with hints but it seems I am
mistaken. The Adobe font I have seems to have plenty of hints so I will study
it. And I will try to find a version of Neue Helvetica 65 Medium that has a
full set of glyphs along with hints. Any ideas on where to get that?
