Mac OS Sequoia 15: Installing Fonts

Tags font

Overview

Cedar Crest has designated a specific set of fonts that are to be used for official communications.  The Office of Information Technology has pushed these fonts to your Windows-based desktop computer automatically, but if you do not have them you can install them manually following these instructions.

Installing Fonts in Max OS Sequoia 15

  1. On your Mac, download a font file from Apple or another source.

    Note: macOS supports TrueType (.ttf), Variable TrueType (.ttf), TrueType Collection (.ttc), OpenType and OpenType-SVG (.otf), and OpenType Collection (.ttc) fonts. Legacy suitcase TrueType fonts and PostScript Type 1 LWFN fonts might work but aren’t recommended.

  2. Do any of the following:

    • In the Font Book app , choose File > Add Fonts to Current User. In the window that appears, double-click the font file.

    • Drag the font file to the Font Book app icon in the Dock, then click Install in the dialog that appears.

    • Drag the font file to the Font Book window.

    • Double-click the font file in the Finder, then click Install in the dialog that appears.

  3. When you install a font, Font Book automatically validates or checks the font you’re installing for errors. Font Book also checks for duplicate fonts.

    Fonts you install are available only to you, or to anyone who uses your computer, depending on the default location you set for installed fonts. See Change Font Book settings.
