FontForge is a UNIX application, so it doesn’t behave 100% like a normal Mac Application.OS X 10.12 or later is required.

Download and install FontForge 2020-03-14

1. Install XQuartz

Without XQuartz, FontForge will open a Dock icon but not load any further.

For users of OS X 10.10 and later, download and install FontForge 2017-07-31. For users of OS X 10.09, download and install FontForge 2015-04-30. Open it and move the FontForge.app file to /Applications - do not move it anywhere else. Right Click (or hold the Command key and click once) and choose Open from the menu, and confirm you want to. Oct 29, 2018 Double-click the font in the Finder, then click Install Font in the font preview window that opens. After your Mac validates the font and opens the Font Book app, the font. May 23, 2020 This Mac app was originally designed by X04 Studios Inc. This application was developed to work on Mac OS X 10.7 or later. The most popular version of the program is 1.0. From the developer. It also lets you do side-by-side font comparisons, print font catalogs, view detailed character and font information (including the keystroke.

Jan 19, 2018 To get the text to a size that suits your eyes, you can lower your Mac's resolution, change the desktop icon font size and increase sidebar size or the scale at which web pages render.

Open Finder and look in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder for the XQuartz app.

If you don’t have it then download and install: direct link to XQuartz-2.7.11.dmg

Log out and log back in to ensure it works correctly

Just this first time, start XQuartz from Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app, go to the X11 menu, Preferences, Input, and turn off the Enable keyboard shortcuts under X11 or Enable key equivalents under X11 preference item. FontForge will start XQuartz automatically for you next time.

2. Install FontForge

For users of OS X 10.10 and later, download and install FontForge 2017-07-31

For users of OS X 10.09, download and install FontForge 2015-04-30

Open it and move the FontForge.app file to /Applications - do not move it anywhere else

Right Click (or hold the Command key and click once) and choose Open from the menu, and confirm you want to open the app

You may see a dialog box saying “Choose Application. Where is X11?” with a sort of Finder window. Find XQuartz in Applications/Utilities and click OK

Be patient while it runs a first-time setup process

FontForge will create a new font and show you its glyphs in a table:

Next time, it will open fast and in any typical way: double clicking it, drag it to the dock, using Launcher, Spotlight or Quicksilver…

Tips

When you run FontForge, its dock icon will disappear after it is launched, because it is controlled by XQuartz.

To bring fontforge’s windows to the font, click the XQuartz icon, or use Alt+Tab to switch to it.

Advanced Configuration

To make FontForge more pleasant to use, you can change some aspects of the way it works on Macs. These steps are optional.

If the hotkeys are unfamiliar, you can change them!

quit FontForge (and X11, for versions prior to 2019-03-17)
with your text editor, open /Applications/FontForge.app/Contents/Resources/opt/local/share/fontforge/hotkeys/default
change the hotkeys and save the file
start FontForge again

If the UI appears very big or very small, you can change the way the UI is sized.

quit FontForge (and X11, for versions prior to 2019-03-17)
with your text editor, open /Applications/FontForge.app/Contents/Resources/opt/local/share/fontforge/pixmaps/resources
measure the physical width of your screen in centimeters. In this example, it is 34cm wide.
add a new line, Gdraw.ScreenWidthCentimeters: 34 and save the file
start FontForge again
if the scaling is still not right, play with the value until it is

FontForge is designed to make use of a three button mouse. It is also designed to make use of modifier keys on mouse clicks (eg, Control-left-click can mean something different than left-click.)

If you have a standard one button mouse, then you have the option of having the Mac simulate a three button mouse (for instance Option-left-click behaves like clicking the middle mouse button). Unfortunately this means you can no longer use the Option key to change the behavior of the left (only) button click. To enable this, click the XQuartz app in the Dock, and then go to X11 menu in the top left, Preferences, Input, and turn on Emulate three button mouse

Mac Os Font Download

If you have a two or three button mouse, then use it (and turn off Emulate three button mouse in the X11 preferences.)
