Using and Managing Fonts in Mac OS X

PDF file by Apple on fonts and Unicode in Mac OS X. Mac OS X accepts these formats (without having to install ATM Lite):

  • Mac PostScript Type 1. Two files are needed per font, one for screen and one for print.
  • Multiple Master.
  • Mac TrueType.
  • Windows TrueType: yes, the run=of-the-mill TTF files work! [Note: the difference between Mac and Windows TrueType is very minimal, a few bits at worst.]
  • OpenType: these have .otf extensions. These work only if the application understands them.
  • System fonts (dfonts): specially packaged truetype fonts (usually with the .dfont extension) introduced by Mac OS X.
