Mac supports Khmer Unicode – but some of the Unicode fonts for Khmer are not designed for Mac. Also some Mac Apps don’t support Khmer Unicode. If you use the Khmer Mondulkiri font or fonts that start with “KH” they should work fine in most apps.

Introduction

Here you can find the list with the standard set of fonts common to all versions of Windows and their Mac substitutes, referred sometimes as 'browser safe fonts'. This is the reference I use when making web pages and I expect you will find it useful too. How to make a bootable usb for mac mojave.

If you are new to web design, maybe you are thinking: 'Why I have to limit to that small set of fonts? I have a large collection of nice fonts in my computer'. Well, as seasoned web designers already know, browsers can use only the fonts installed in each computer, so it means that every visitor of your web page needs to have all the fonts you want to use installed in his/her computer. Of course, different people will have different fonts installed, and thus come the need of a standard set of fonts. Fortunately, CSS allows set several values for the font-family property, which eases the task a bit.

If you want to know how the fonts are displayed in other OS's or browsers than yours, after the table you can find several screen shots of this page in different systems and browsers. Also, you can take a look to the list of the default fonts included with each version of Windows.

The list

First, a few introductory notes:

• The names in grey are the generic family of each font.
• In some cases the Mac equivalent is the same font, since Mac OS X also includes some of the fonts shipped with Windows.
• The notes at the bottom contains specific information about some of the fonts.

¹ Georgia and Trebuchet MS are bundled with Windows 2000/XP and they are also included in the IE font pack (and bundled with other MS applications), so they are quite common in Windows 98 systems.

² Symbolic fonts are only displayed in Internet Explorer, in other browsers a font substitute is used instead (although the Symbol font does work in Opera and the Webdings works in Safari).

³ Book Antiqua is almost exactly the same font that Palatino Linotype, Palatino Linotype is included in Windows 2000/XP while Book Antiqua was bundled with Windows 98.

⁴ These fonts are not TrueType fonts but bitmap fonts, so they won't look well when using some font sizes (they are designed for 8, 10, 12, 14, 18 and 24 point sizes at 96 DPI).

⁵ These fonts work in Safari but only when using the normal font style, and not with bold or italic styles. Comic Sans MS works in bold but not in italic. Other Mac browsers seems to emulate properly the styles not provided by the font (thanks to Christian Fecteau for the tip).

⁶ These fonts are present in Mac OS X only if Classic is installed (thanks to Julian Gonggrijp for the corrections).

How the fonts look in different systems and browsers

• Mac OS X 10.4.8, Firefox 2.0, font smoothing enabled (thanks to Juris Vecvanags for the screen shot)
• Mac OS X 10.4.4, Firefox 1.5, font smoothing enabled (thanks to Eric Zavesky for the screen shot)
• Mac OS X 10.4.11, Safari 3.0.4, font smoothing enabled (thanks to Nolan Gladius for the screen shot)
• Mac OS X 10.4.4, Safari 2.0.3, font smoothing enabled (thanks to Eric Zavesky for the screen shot)
• Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 7, ClearType enabled (thanks to Michiel Bijl for the screen shot)
• Windows Vista, Firefox 2.0, ClearType enabled (thanks to Michiel Bijl for the screen shot)
• Linux (Ubuntu 7.04 + Gnome), Firefox 2.0 (thanks to Juris Vecvanags for the screen shot)

Note that while the ClearType smoothing is applied always, the basic font smoothing of Windows 98/2000/XP is applied only to certain font sizes. That sizes can be specified by the font designer, but usually they are in the ranges of 0-6 and 14+ points (pt).

The Mac font list was obtained from the Browser Safe Fonts PDF of webbedEnvironments and from the List of fonts in Mac OS X of the Wikipedia.

The default system font in OS X is the type face used for displaying practically all system features, including menu items, system preference labels, titles for documents, the date and time, and other instances where system panels and programs display text. While in the Classic Mac OS (version 9 and earlier) Apple included options for changing the default system font, this has not been an option in OS X. However, if you want, you can, with a little tweaking, change the default font to any TrueType font of your choice.

First and foremost, when customizing the system font it helps to understand the hierarchy of the font folders in OS X. There are three such folders, all called “Fonts,” which are in the following locations:

username > Library > Fonts
Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts
Macintosh HD > System > Library > Fonts

QuickBooks Deskop Mac includes one user license: Requires purchase of a license for each additional user up to a maximum of 3 user licenses.

These folders above are listed in order of precedence, so while there is a font called Geneva in the system font folder, any duplicate for Geneva that you place in the Macintosh HD > Library folder will be loaded and used instead of the one in the Macintosh HD > System > Library folder. The same goes for such a font replacement in the username > Library folder, which will even take precedence over the one in Macintosh HD > Library.

There are some limitations to this hierarchy, one of which is that fonts which apply to the system and other users are limited to those in the System folder and root library folder, so you cannot use your user library for such fonts. Nevertheless, this simply means with regards to system fonts, you do not need to modify any aspect of the System folder to replace them, and instead can simply supply a replacement font in the Macintosh HD > Library folder. It will then load instead of the default system font, and change the type face used by OS X.

As a result of this, the key to changing the system font in OS X is to find out exactly how to make and implement a replacement for the default font in your system. In OS X before Yosemite, Apple’s default system font was Lucida Grande, and in Yosemite Apple has changed this to Helvetica Neue; however, if you simply copy a font, change it name to “Lucida Grande” or “Helvetica Neue,” and then paste it in the Fonts directory within the root library folder, you will not see a change take effect.

The Chalkduster font adds a fun touch to the MAc’s interface, and does not look bad at all.

This is because the TrueType fonts used in OS X are basically small databases of glyphs, along with a number of information fields that hold a bunch of metadata, and while the file name can be changed for a font, the internal name that the system uses to identify the font has not been altered.

This metadata, just like that for regular documents, holds details like the font’s copyright information, font weight, designers, and other identifying details. One of these is the font’s postscript name, which is among several internal names for the font file, and the one which Apple uses to identify the file as the default system font.

To change the postscript name of a font, you will need to use a special utility that can edit font files. A couple of these are TTFEdit, and FontForge, both of which are open source and free projects, but both of which will either require Java, XQuarts, or both to first be installed on your Mac.

For this demonstration, I have outlined how to do this with TTFEdit:

1. Download TTFEdit from its SourceForge page
2. Ensure you have the latest Java runtime installed from Oracle (For security reasons, once installed use the Security tab in the Java system preferences to disable Java content in your browser).
3. Locate the font you want to use as your default system font, and copy it to your Desktop.
4. Open TTFEdit, and then use the File menu in the program to open the font file on the Desktop.
5. Along the left-hand side of the program’s window, choose the “name” tab, which will display the name table for the font.
6. Locate the field named “PostScript name of the font.” If there are multiples of these, then use the one with “(Macintosh, Roman, English)” at the end of the name, and not any mention of Windows or other platforms.

Using TTFEdit, you can select the name table (arrow) and adjust the Macintosh PostScript font name to override the one that the system uses. Note that in this case the use of the lowercase “r” in “regular” will prevent the font from being used by the system.

In this postscript name field change this field to be exactly one of the following (be sure you place the period before the name):

For OS X prior to 10.10 Yosemite:

For OS X Yosemite:

While “Regular” will be the default font, there are times when OS X will use bold text, or italic text, so if you have these variants for the font, then similarly change this name but use “Bold,” “Light,” or “Italic” instead of “Regular” in the postscript name. Also note that these names are case-sensitive, so while “.HelveticaNeueDeskInterface-regular” will not work, “.HelveticaNeueDeskInterface-Regular” will.

The font face you choose may or may not be the best. In this case, Chalkduster (to the left) looks far more pleasant than Zapfino (to the right).

With these edits in place, choose “Save As” from the File menu, and then save the font in the Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts folder, giving it a unique name by appending a word like “System” to it. You now should be able to log out and then log back in to your user account, and the system should pick up this new font as the one to use. If it does not, then try rebooting your Mac into Safe Mode (hold the Shift down when you hear the boot chimes), followed by restarting when you get to the Login Window. This will have cleared your system’s font cache, allowing the new font to be loaded properly.

You can also manually clear the font cache in OS X by running the following command in the Terminal under an administrative account (supply your password when prompted):

Be aware that while this will change the system font, any font besides either Lucida Grande in OS X 10.9 and earlier, and Helvetica Neue in OS X 10.10, will not have been tested for use as a system font. Therefore, any changes might result in some words not appearing correctly, and at worst may show garbled text. For the most part these should be rare occurrences and should only be aesthetic, so you will not lose any functionality; however, if they occur then you might have difficulty understanding the purpose of a specific menu item, button, or other label.

Font Book can be used to select the modified font and then disable it, if desired. Be sure you properly identify it from your non-modified ones by the postscript name and its full file path (outlined here).

Font For Mac And Pc

To revert your changes and go back to Apple’s default font, simply move your modified fonts out of the Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts folder, and then restart or log out and back in to your user account. This approach will also have the font available in Apple’s included Font Book utility, so you can also use this program to select and disable the font accordingly.
