How can I move fonts from Mac to Mac

Hello,

I have several Macs with OS X Lion. I need to sinchronize fonts, so that every mac has the same font configuration.

Is it possible? Can I simply copy the fonts files directly from mac to mac?

Cheers

Luca

You should be able to do that. Or you can open Font Book and export the fonts (Exported Fonts folder) to a location. Then Add those you want from the Exported Fonts folder you exported onto the other Mac

You must in fact add your custom fonts, as the default font set will be the same on all macs running Lion.

You do not offer details, but I may confess what I do in order to have the same font set on all macs at home, just in case someone needs to work on another computer. Usually, they are linguistic fonts.

- I do not install additional fonts, bar the first time when I install a new Mac OS

- save all fonts stored in System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts unto an xternal drive, just in case something wrong happems

- I have a folder with my custom fonts, which are added to all macs around

I do not know what you want to do, but I offered a hint.
