Macintosh Fonts

=== by Bob Sutherland ===

Introduction

I created this page to assist me in selecting fonts when creating websites. This page contains fonts I found on Macintosh computers. I am aware that some of these fonts were originally Windows fonts.

For each of the sections on this page I have created and displayed an ***Error font*** that should look quite different from the other fonts in that section. If any of the other fonts in a section look like the ***Error font*** then that means the desired font is not available on your computer.

My Research Notes

  1. For historical reasons many modern web browsers display their monospace font in size 12 while all of the other fonts are displayed in size 16 by default.
  2. There is a long list of Macintosh fonts that I have not included on this list. Most of them are fonts that I have never used. There were a few fonts that I tried to include on this web page but I was not able to get them to display correctly (e.g. Symbol, Webdings, ZapfDingbats).
