Installing a MAC font
After downloading the font file, you'll need to Unstuff it, the PC Unzip equivalent. Unstuff it and drag and drop the folder into the System folder. You'll be informed it should be saved into the fonts folder. Press the "Return" key then Restart to use the new font. If you have a MAC and you wish to convert PC fonts for use on your MAC there are several converters. If you are using System 7.1, 7.5.x, 7.6.x or 8.x you can drag the fonts you want to install on top of the closed System Folder and it automatically installs them. There is a folder in the System Folder named Fonts where it stores fonts. You can install fonts at any time without restarting your computer but they will not be available to running applications, including the Finder, until they are closed and opened again. If you are using System 7.0.x, fonts are stored in the System suitcase. Drag any fonts you want to install on top of the System suitcase file which is in the System Folder and they will automatically be installed. No applications can be running when you install the fonts so make sure you have closed them all. To be sure you can restart with extensions off by restarting and holding the Shift key down as your computer boots up. If your font files are in suitcases you must open the suitcase file (shaped like a suitcase with a handle on top) and drag the individual font files onto the System suitcase file. For System 6.0.8 and all earlier versions, you must use the Font/DA mover.
