How to Install/Remove True type fonts on a Macintosh OS X

Since OS X Macintosh made a lot of changes to the operating system, including the fonts support. You can still use the old method to install the fonts, but they are not recommended and the fonts are not available to all the applications. On the other side there is a great improvement on OS X - now the OS X can install the Windows true type file directly, without using MacBinary. You still need a ZIP utility such as StuffIt expander, however, since all the fonts are packaged in a ZIP file.

To Install the font

Procedure

  1. Download and install StuffIt Expander if you do not have a ZIP utility installed in your system. StuffIt Expander is free and can be downloaded from http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/index.html. When download completes, double click the icon in the desktop to install StuffIt Expander.
  2. Download the Fontware from Morovia web site. Unpack the ZIP by dragging downloaded ZIP into the StuffIt Expander icon. StuffIt generates another folder under which you can find a directory named Macintosh. Double click to open the Macintosh subfolder.
  3. At this stage, do not go to the Macintosh sub folder. Instead, double click the Windows subfolder to open it. All the true type files (Windows version) can be found there.
  4. Drag the file you want to install to the Library/Fonts folder.
  5. The font is now ready to use.

To Remove the font

To remove the fonts installed, just drag and file from the System folder to the trash can.
