December 18, 2009, Newsletter Issue #233: Transporting Fonts Between Macs

Tip of the Week

If your work gets moved from one Mac to another, itīs best to maintain the same selection of fonts on both machines whenever possible. If you donīt have control over the machine at school or at work, you can always maintain a file of matching fonts on your home machine.

Moving and copying fonts is very easy on a Mac ... just open the Fonts folder in the System Folder and copy the font files to a disk or CD. Take them home to your own Mac, place them in your home Fonts folder and there you are!

If you use font management software such as Suitcase or Adobe Type Manager, your Fonts folder may have a different location. Just follow the utilityīs instructions to make the fonts available.
