[edit] Font Chronology

Nick: I'm working on extracting the font files from all the Mac OS X installation CD's (10.0, 10.1 tier 2, 10.2, 10.3), so that I can create somewhat of a timeline of which fonts were included in which version. So I suggest you hold of on spending too much time on manually listing the fonts, until I'm done.

One font I have not been able to find, which you list below, is Andale Mono. Where did you find that information? — David Remahl 15:14, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I bet it comes from a OS 9 system folder. Along with Chicago and Charcoal that don't actually ship with Mac OS X. — David Remahl 15:32, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yes, be sure you install Classic with 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 — Nicholas 11:04, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Styles

I have listed the styles of a font all together even if the typefaces are given as belonging to different families in a default installation (I edit many of my font's name tables anyway, to consolidate families). I have also removed foundry suffixes (ITC, MT, MS etc.), but listed separately fonts who's purpose is to provide characters for non-Roman scripts where the main font was insufficient (for example, Arial HB & Helvetica CY). In most such cases the original font was subsequently expanded, rendering the secondary font useless. — Nicholas 11:44, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Translations

I need translations for the following font names and weights.
Please translate where possible, otherwise, transliterate. Translations can be posted directly in Unicode on my korean talk page. Please also be aware of the difference between Oblique and Italic. — Nicholas 11:44, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Some of the above terms and names are translated in the font files themselves (the 'name' table. As I said, I'm creating a utility to extract all vital information from the fonts automatically, and present it in table form. That said, there are many things that are not translated, such as Devanagari. — David Remahl 12:14, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Armenian font

The Armenian font Mshtakan which I designed is not mentioned on this page, though it ships with OS X. Evertype 17:22, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] font 'Beijing' in the first image

I don't have the font Beijing on Mac OS 10.4. Which version was it included with? Njál 01:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
