Mac OS X 10.3: Which fonts are Apple fonts?

Learn how to figure out which of your fonts were supplied by Apple. This might be useful to know when troubleshooting a software issue, for example.

This document applies to Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.3.4.

Here's how to do it in the Finder:
  1. Open the Fonts folder you wish to look at. Fonts may be in more than one location.
  2. Select a font.
  3. From the File menu, choose Get Info (or press Command-I).
  4. Look at the "Copyright" line. If you see "Apple Computer" in the copyright, it's an Apple font.



  5. Repeat these steps for other fonts you want to check out.


And here's how you can do this with Mac OS X Panther Font Book, if you want:
  1. Hop on over to the Applications folder and open Font Book.
  2. From the Preview menu, choose Show Font Info (or press Command-I). If Font Info is already shown, you don't need to do this.
  3. Select each font you want to check out. Look in the Font Info section (which is below the preview).
  4. Look at the "Foundry" link. If you see "Apple Computer" in the copyright, it's an Apple font.





    Tip: Just select one font at a time; "-" appears in all Font Info lines if more than one font is selected.
