[edit] On Mac OS X

On Mac OS X, fonts are stored in:

• /System/Library/Fonts/ (system-provided fonts - available to any user)
• /Library/Fonts/ (fonts installed by an admin user - available to any user)
• ~/Library/Fonts/ (fonts installed by a user - only available to this user)

• An application can also have its own fonts (see Include custom fonts into a Mac OS X application).

The following font formats are usable:¹

• Macintosh TrueType font suitcase
• Windows TrueType TTF/TTC outline/bitmapped font
• PostScript OpenType Roman outline/bitmapped font
• PostScript OpenType CID Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese outline/bitmapped font
• PostScript Type 1 outline font with Macintosh bitmapped font suitcase (LWFN)
• Macintosh PostScript Type 1 enabled font suitcase (SFNT)
• Macintosh PostScript Type 1 CID enabled font suitcase (SFNT/CID)
