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
- 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.
- 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).
