Adding fonts to Pages

I downloaded some new fonts - how do I get them into Pages to use? They are .sit files, if it makes a difference. Thanks!

Click here, download StuffIt Expander, use it to open the files, and then place the decompressed files into the /Library/Fonts/ folder.

I just spent some time installing new fonts, too. I found that (after the file was unstuffed), I just had to double-click the font to bring up a preview of it; and within that preview was an offer to install it. Just click the button and done!

Yeah, I love how it's so much easier than the old OS9 days of having to put the fonts there yourself. 🙂 More info for those looking at fonts, I've found that when given the option to download the Windows or the Macintosh font, downloading the Mac gives you a .sit file a lot of times. Instead, I download the Windows version (almost always a .zip file) and that works fine.

Given the option between TTF and OTF, always go with the OTF one 🙂
