If you\u2019re using OSX, you\u2019ll need to decide whether you want the fonts into both the Classic and the OSX native environment.<\/p>\n<p>If you want them to be available for both Carbon and Native and Classic application, put them in the Classic environment. If you only need them for Native\/Carbon applications, go ahead and install them into the native OSX environment.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/macos-high-sierra-macbook-f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/macos-high-sierra-macbook-f.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/macos-high-sierra-macbook-f-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/macos-high-sierra-macbook-f-768x340.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another thing to note is that you can\u2019t just move an entire folder of fonts in the system location, as OSX can only read files that aren\u2019t inside another folder.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using a font management utility, refer to their documentation for instructions. If, however, you\u2019re using ATM Light without such a utility, follow the steps below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-8-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First of all, quit any active applications. Go where you\u2019ve stored, or downloaded the fonts. You will find that each font collection or package is in an individual folder.<\/p>\n<p>You should install them in the System Folder: Fonts folder, but make sure you copy all files from the individual folders to that folder. If you also have PostScript Type 1 fonts, you need to move both the outline font files, usually marked with a red A icon, and the suitcases. Once you\u2019re done with this, you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<h3>Mac OSX<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-73\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-5-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, if you install the fonts in the OSX system locations, you won\u2019t be able to use them in the Classic application.

Find where you\u2019ve stored the folders you want to install. If you have bought Adobe fonts online, they will be decompressed in a folder on the hard drive, and if there are multiple, they\u2019ll all be in their own folders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-83\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-9.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-9-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefault-9-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As with the previous instructions, move each font from their folder to one of the locations below.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>&lt;Volume&gt;\/Library\/Fonts\/, if you want them to be used by anyone, but you will need to be logged on as Administrator if you want to put them here.<\/li>\n<li>&lt;Volume&gt;\/Users\/&lt;username&gt;\/Library\/Fonts, if you want them to only be available to that one specific user.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you\u2019re done with this, the fonts should be installed and available in the font menus of your Native and Carbon applications.<\/p>\n<h3>Linux<\/h3>\n<p>Linux has plenty of distributions, and they all have different desktop environments. They usually come with different applications for fonts as well. When you\u2019re installing a font, you need to download it in either TrueType, OpenType, or PostScript Type 1.<\/p>\n<p>To preview it, double-click it. If you have any GNOME-based distribution, you will be greeted by the GNOME Font Viewer, and an install button if you want to install the font for your user account.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-77\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/screenshot-from-2014-07-09-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/screenshot-from-2014-07-09-1-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/screenshot-from-2014-07-09-1-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/screenshot-from-2014-07-09-1-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Installing fonts manually is also an option, even with multiple fonts at once.
