MAC

To install fonts onto a MAC you will need OS X which has native support for True Type fonts. To install fonts on an older version of MAC OS you will most likely need a conversion program, such as TTConverter.

Fonts CAN exist in four different Folders in OS X:

 

1. Mac Hard Disk/Library/Fonts

   This is public, available to anyone

2. Mac Hard Disk/System/Library/Fonts

   System only fonts

3. Mac Hard Disk/Users/~/Library/Fonts

   ~ denotes user's personal home folder

4. Mac Hard Disk/Network/Library/Fonts

   Share fonts with others with access

OS X loads fonts from all these locations to make them available to applications. OS X fonts take precedence over Classic fonts with the same name. Therefore, the 'Helvetica' used in Classic may not be the same Helvetica in OS X.
