How do I Install fonts on my Mac?

Fonts can be installed in several folders in OS X, but we recommend that you do the following:

​

First, close any open applications. Newly installed fonts may not appear in your font menu if you ignore this step.

​

Install using Font Book (available on all OS X):

​​

  • Double click the unzipped font file and Font Book will open a preview of the font.

  • Click “Install Font” at the bottom of the preview.

​

Manually install:

​

  • Open Finder and click the Go menu at the top of the screen.

  • While in the Go menu, hold down both the Alt/Option and Shift keys on your keyboard to reveal the hidden link to the Library folder

  • Navigate to your Fonts folder: 
      /Users/Your_Username/Library/Fonts

  • Drag and drop the unzipped font files into this folder.
