Assuring Helvetica font present

This is a two-part question. I have an app which displays NSStrings in a
custom view, and for graphical reasons it's important that they are
consistent in terms of appearance and size. Right now I have it set to
always print out as Helvetica-Bold, however I'm aware that although
helvetica is included on mac systems it can be turned off or removed. I'd
use a non-removable font such as the system's Geneva but I need the specific
look that Helvetica provides. Does anyone know the best way to ensure
Helvetica is installed properly, and what options I have available if I find
out it is not available on a given system? Can I somehow package the font
file as a resource in my bundle and then install it automatically, or is
that a 'no-no'? And if my app is running on another language system such as
japanese, will printing with a roman font still display properly? (despite
being in the wrong language)

Thank you for your time~
