The Apple Font

Adobe Myriad Pro has PostScript outline technology wrapped in the Apple/Microsoft intelligent composition model.

This means that you can select, for instance, for the character DIGIT ONE you can select the default unit of type that stands on the baseline as upper case and alternately select superior 1, inferior 1, lower case 1, tabular 1 that has equal width for alignment in tables, and more.

Intelligent fonts are installed for all users (under Computer), for one user (under Home), or for one application (e.g. internal font folder in Adobe InDesign not seen by Mac OS X). Installing and uninstalling intelligent fonts is done through Apple Font Book.

If you can see Adobe Myriad Pro in Apple Font Book then Adobe Myriad Pro is available to Apple Pages. You can read more about type in an Apple guide prepared in the Apple Mac OS X 10.2 timeframe for people used to Mac OS 9 who are getting used to Mac OS X.

Hope this helps,

Henrik

How do I use the Apple font in Pages?

You probably just need to find where Adobe has put it on your machine and move a copy to Home/Library/Fonts.

If I make my font Apple Braille it makes it the Apple font, not braille.

Using the braille fonts for braille would probably be done via the Character Palette or a custom keyboard layout.

If you can see Myriad Pro in your FontBook then it is available to any program on your Mac. However, if you only see it in Photoshop, then it is probably hidden either inside the Adobe application package or in a folder in the Adobe folder inside a Library folder (yours or the global one). If that is the case, I'm not sure about the legality of your moving/copying it for your own use.

I've never heard of any restriction on moving Adobe fonts so they can be used by other apps, and can remember seeing various instructions for doing so. I think they may be located in Library/ Application Support/ Adobe/ Fonts.

I'm not sure about the legality of your moving/copying it for your own use

As a rule, the reason a resource is stored in an internal application folder inaccessible to the operating system is either that the operating system does not support that resource or that the application intends to do some special processing with that resource.

It is not, as a rule, by reason of copyright. In this particular instance, if Adobe Myriad Pro is installed in an internal application folder, it is because Adobe has many, many, many full time type users who urge that Adobe not autoinstall long lists of type faces into their systems.

They want to know what is installed and where it is installed.

Best,

It might have changed since I last looked a couple of years ago, but I thought Apple used Gill Sans.

For some info on the topic, just check wikipedia:
