-
Mac Hard Disk/System/Library/FontsSystem only fonts
-
Mac Hard Disk/Users/~/Library/Fonts~ denotes user's personal home folder

Back to top - Can I use freeware fonts for my work?
-
- Personal
- Free fonts can be used without acquiring copyright permission as long as you will not profit from the use of the font.
- Commercial
-
The author of the font will always retain the copyright, which refers to the reproduction, distribution, alteration and publication of the font.
Detailed copyright information is available for individual fonts in the readme.txt file or other documents, which are included as a part of the zip font file.
Copyright information is often embedded within the font file itself. You can see that information for the particular font by clicking "File Info", below "Download".
If you are still unsure if you can use a font for a particular task the best action would be to contact the author and request the permission.

- How do you enlarge fonts beyond the point size of 72 in Word?
- On the Word task bar you can see the size of the font, for example 12. When the drop down list is displayed it shows only up to 72 point size. If you want it bigger all you have to do it select the 12 and type in the size that you want and press enter.
