Computer Fonts For Mac



When designing for the web, it is recommended to make sure that the web site will look good on most, if not all, of the computers that will access it. Most of the web users use either Windows or Mac OS to surf the web. Both operating systems come with pre-installed fonts out of the box.

The table below lists web-safe fonts that are common for both Windows and Macintosh. The Windows fonts are included with Windows XP and later, and the Mac fonts are included with Mac OS X. I am not going to mention Windows 98/95 or Mac OS 8/9 as these are legacy systems and the number of users using them for web is shrinking on a daily basis.

Install fonts

Double-click the font in the Finder, then click Install Font in the font preview window that opens. After your Mac validates the font and opens the Font Book app, the font is installed and available for use.

You can use Font Book preferences to set the default install location, which determines whether the fonts you add are available to other user accounts on your Mac.

Fonts that appear dimmed in Font Book are either disabled ('Off'), or are additional fonts available for download from Apple. To download the font, select it and choose Edit > Download.
