See section 6 on how to permanently remove Apple's supplied versions of Helvetica and Helvetica Neue if this is important for you. If there are any removed fonts you want to use for a project at a later date, they can always be activated with Font Book, Suitcase Fusion, FontAgent, FontExplorer X Pro, TypeDNA, or other font manager. Create a new folder on your hard drive and copy them there first. It is advised to save them for future use. You will need Administrative access to delete fonts from this folder. This set, and the fonts HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc and LucidaGrande.ttc must be present for the Finder and OS installed application menus to work.Īll other fonts in the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder (that are not included in the lists below by release level) can be removed.
There is also a root /Library/Fonts/ folder with its own set of required fonts, which will be addressed in the second half of Section 1.įrom the font lists below, the San Francisco font set is used throughout the system font display purposes. Note that this first part of Section 1 covers only fonts required in the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder. The fonts listed should always be active on your Macintosh for macOS and should not be removed. These lists also include the fonts most needed for the web, iLife and iWork. This section examines each of the various macOS releases (High Sierra 10.13.x through Big Sur 11.x) and provides the recommended minimum list of the fonts to be stored in the System folder for that particular release of the operating system in order for it and most third party applications to run properly. I use them interchangeably throughout this article. The following words: program, application or app all have the same meaning. Which, if you start by double clicking the icon of the boot drive on the desktop, the path can also be presented as /Users/ your_user_account /Library/Fonts/. So in most cases, the path to the Fonts folder in your home user account would be ~/Library/Fonts/. ~/ The tilde-forward slash pair is always your home directory (folder), i.e., the home folder of the current user login session. The beginning forward slash (as in the example to the Terminal application) of a file specification is always the root level of your boot volume. This is known as a hierarchical file specification in geek terminology, but it's called a canonical filename for short. For example, here is the file specification for the Terminal application: I can't tell you exactly what the path to your home account looks like (since I don't know your short user name), so here are some handy notes of reference.Ī file specification is the entire path from the root of the volume it resides on to the end of the file name. This should help novice computer users and those unfamiliar with standard notation to learn how to navigate to the folders mentioned throughout this article. By 'notation' I am referring to the path name. In this release, you’ll find a transgender flag, a smiling face with tear, pinched fingers, two people hugging, some insects and animals, a disguised face and more.I first want to mention the notation of file locations.
