produces exactly the same pdf output, with Helvetica still too large.
HELVETICA DOES NOT SCALE.
Why? What can be done?

Works fine for me (but I had to use usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} as I don't have the full set). Show your log-file.

Probably unrelated to your problem, butlatin9is an unusual file encoding for mac. Please check if your file really is encoded in latin9.

You don’t needmakeatletterandmakeatother. Also, since you are using Times font, you can useusepackage{newtxtext}for text followed byusepackage{mtpro2}for math. The former sets up Times as the serif font, and Helvetica (automatically scaled at 0.9) as the sans-serif font.
