What is the font used on the Mac interface?

Answer 1

Apple uses the font called Myraid Pro Regular. If you want it, you'll have to buy it from the net or download, or if ya already have Adobe Acrobat, goto computer, then local disk, then program files, then Adobe folder, then Adobe Acrobat, then Resources, then font, then select any of the fonts and paste them in the Windows fonts folder.

If you are looking for a FREE font that looks like Myriad Pro Regular, visit www.dafont.com. In the navigation, select "Sans serif" under "Basic". On the second page, there is a font near the bottom called "Sansation". Download that one. You can trust that there are no viruses because I have downloaded it. Feel free to look at more fonts.

Download Instructions:

Under Windows 7/Vista:

Select the font files (.ttf, .otf or .fon) then Right-click > Install

Under any version of Windows:

Place the font files (.ttf, .otf or .fon) into the Fonts folder, usually C:\Windows\Fonts or C:\WINNT\Fonts

(can be reached as well by the Start Menu > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Fonts).

Under Mac OS X 10.3 or above (including the FontBook) :

Double-click the font file > "Install font" button at the bottom of the preview.

Under any version of Mac OS X:

Put the files into /Library/Fonts (for all users),

or into /Users/Your_username/Library/Fonts (for you only).

Under Mac OS 9 or earlier:

The old Mac fonts are not supported anymore at dafont. First, you have to convert the font files (.ttf or .otf) you have downloaded.

Then drag the fonts suitcases into the System folder. The system will propose you to add them to the Fonts folder.

Copy the font files (.ttf or .otf) to fonts:// in the File manager,

or:

Go into the /home folder, in the menu select View > Show Hidden Files, you will see the hidden folder .fonts (if not, create it) then copy the font files there.

The full-size pre-color display iPod models -- the original iPod, iPod 2G, iPod 3G, iPod 4G, and iPod U2 Special Edition -- all use Chicago, the same font used for the original Macintosh interface.

The iPod mini and iPod mini 2G use Espy Sans, the same font used on the Newton.

iPods with color displays -- starting with the iPod photo and continuing to the iPod (5GE) models -- use a font called "Myriad", and the iPod classic models, iPod nano 3G, iPod nano 4G, iPod nano 5G, and the iPod touch models use Helvetica, like the iPhone.
