San Francisco fonts

Apples font list for Mojave doesn't include the 70+ San Francisco fonts. Does anyone have that information?

Yeah, now see what you mean. There are 71 fonts that look like they are SF... listed in /System/Library/Fonts but none of them appear in Font Book nor on your list of official fonts. I found a note at http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html that talks about Font Book specifically hiding the SF fonts (7th paragraph in section 4) - I wonder if they didn't want to give people a way of accidentally removing them or corrupting them, cause if they did the system will not even boot apparently.

Good luck...

I think the answer to the discrepancy between Kurt Lang's count of 79 and our count of 71 lies with this comment. "All nine of the previous San Fransisco SFNSRounded fonts are deleted by the update and replaced with the single item, SFNSRounded.ttf."

Give this site a try -- https://developer.apple.com/fonts/ -- has Pro, Compact and Mono version of SF font.

Good luck...

Thanks for the info but I'm not looking for the fonts themselves, just the list that is to be included with the Mojave install (to verify they are present). Oddly, the San Francisco fonts are not on Apples list of fonts included in the Mojave install. The SF fonts are in my system but not on the list.

Oh, I like that you see 71, which is what I see as well. Kurt Lang mentions 78 SF fonts which made me think I may be missing a few - and since they're "required" it raises a flag. The fact that we both see 71 puts me a little more at ease.

I appreciate your help.
