Product Questions
Q. What format are the fonts in?
A. The fonts are in OpenType® font format.
Q. How do I install the fonts in MacFonts using Font Book?
A. Go to your Applications folder and open the MacFonts folder. You will see another folder called Fonts. Copy this folder to another location on your Mac (Documents, for example) and then rename the folder to MacFonts. Now go back to your Applications folder and open Font Book.
Once Font Book is open you can simply drag and drop the newly named MacFonts folder into the left pane called Collections. This will add all fonts in the folder into fonts now available to use in your applications.
PLEASE NOTE: Having all fonts active at once may slow down your computer. You can right click on the new MacFonts collection and choose the Disable "MacFonts" option to deactivate all the fonts in the collection. Then just select the fonts you want to use and choose the Enable Fonts. option from the right click menu that opens when you right click on any of the selected fonts.
Q. How do I install the fonts in my applications?
A. We have included a FontManager to manage the fonts. For advanced users you will need to use a more robust font manager such as Suitcase.
To install the fonts on Mac OS X follow these simple steps.
1. Once the CD is in the drive and on your desktop, launch the welcome window by double-clicking on the Macware Fonts CD icon.
2. Run the included FontManager by clicking on the icon on the left side (it says "click here to start").
3. This will launch the FontManager. Now you will see two windows. The left window shows you the Fonts on the MacFonts 2 disc. The right Window shows you the Fonts that are already installed on your system.
4. From the left window, find a font that you would like to install and click on either the "Install Permanently" or "Activate Temporarily" buttons.
Install Permanently will keep the font installed even after a system restart.
Activate Temporarily will allow the font to be installed until the next system restart.
5. That's it! Depending on which button you click the font will either be installed you're your applications permanently or temporarily.
Q. How do I install ALL the fonts on my computer at once?
A. You can do this by copying the whole font folder to a location on your hard disc and use another Font Manager to manage the fonts. You should only choose this method if you are interested in installing large amounts of fonts in one click.

Q. Are these royalty free fonts I can use commercially?
A. Yes. All fonts in MacFonts Complete Collection are handcrafted from our very own SummitType Foundry, so you can use them for your personal AND commercial projects without worry. Pretty much the only thing you cannot do with them is repackage or recompile or rename them and sell them as your own. |
