Frequently Requested Mac Fonts

Many fonts are available at various archives. The king of Macintosh font archives is mac.archive.umich.edu. On mac.archive.umich.edu, the fonts are located in the following folders:

  /mac/system.extensions/font/type1
  /mac/system.extensions/font/type3
  /mac/system.extensions/font/truetype

The following fonts are in Type 1 format for the Macintosh. Some are also available in TrueType format.

Many of these mac fonts are available in files that are either entitled xxxx.sit or xxxx.cpt. xxxx.sit files are Stuffit archives. xxxx.cpt files are Compact Pro archives. StuffitLite (shareware $25) and Compact Pro (shareware $25) are available at the standard ftp sites. Uncompressors for these programs (free) are also available at the archive sites. Check the utilities/compression utilities folders.
