To use fonts in your apps, you need to install the fonts using Font Book. You can also use Font Book to preview the way a font looks.

This list of fonts contains every font shipped with Mac OS X 10.0 through macOS 10.14, including any that shipped with language-specific updates from Apple (primarily Korean and Chinese fonts).For fonts shipped only with Mac OS X 10.5, please see Apple's documentation.

Install fonts

You can install fonts from a location on your Mac (or a network you’re connected to), or download available fonts right in the Font Book window. Fonts that you can download are dimmed in the font list.

• Install fonts from your Mac or network: Click the Add button in the Font Book toolbar, locate and select the font, then click Open.

• Download fonts: Click All Fonts in the sidebar on the left, then select a dimmed font family or one or more styles. Click Download in the preview pane, then click Download in the dialog that appears.

  If the preview pane isn’t shown, choose View > Show Preview. If you don’t see a Download button, switch to another preview type (the Download button isn’t available in the Information preview.) For more about the preview pane, see the next task.

You can also double-click a font file in the Finder, then click Install Font in the dialog that appears.

All fonts you install or download appear in Font Book, and are available to use in your apps.

   • Repertoire: Displays a grid showing available characters and symbols, or glyphs. Drag the slider to the right of the preview to adjust their size.

   • Custom: Displays blocks of text showing each style. Click a block of text, then enter your text to see it in that style.

• The fonts in the following list were included as 'extras' with AppleWorks 6,^[1] which was bundled with new iMacs until 2006.^[2]

Hidden fonts[edit]

A number of fonts have also been provided with iMovie, iLife, iDVD and other Apple applications in hidden folders, for the sole use of these applications. The reason why these fonts are hidden is unknown, with licensing issues suggested as the cause. However, one may easily install them for use by all applications by copying them out of their Library directories and installing them as with any third-party font, although one should always check that the license for the fonts allows them to be used outside the given software.^[3]

Notable hidden fonts on macOS include Bank Gothic, Bodoni, Century Gothic, Century Schoolbook, Garamond, several cuts of Lucida and Monotype Twentieth Century.
