Since Mac OS X Panther, a utility called Font Book has been included with the operating system allowing users to easily install fonts and do basic font management. In Mac OS X Snow Leopard (2009), Apple abandoned its proprietary .dfont format, instead bundling many fonts in the TrueType Collection format which was supported since Mac OS 8.5.
This list of fonts contains every font shipped with Mac OS X 10.0 through macOS 10.14, including any that shipped with language-specific updates from Apple (primarily Korean and Chinese fonts). For fonts shipped only with Mac OS X 10.5, please see Apple's documentation.
Font Book is opened by default whenever the user clicks on a new .otf or .ttf font file. The user can view the font and install it, at which point the font will be copied to a centralized folder of user-installed fonts and be available for all apps to use. [1] It can be used to browse all installed fonts.

The family consisted of Sans & Serif, Regular and Bold in discrete bitmap sizes of 8, 9, 10, 12 & 14 pt.
Chicago (1984 by Susan Kare, pre-Mac OS 8 system font, also used by early iPods) Geneva (1984 by Susan Kare), sans-serif font inspired by Helvetica. Converted to TrueType format and still installed on Macs. Espy Sans (1993, EWorld, Apple Newton and iPod Mini font, known as System on the Apple Newton platform) System (1993, see Espy Sans)
AAT also supports variation fonts, [6] in which a font's shape can vary depending on a scaled value supplied by the user. Variation fonts are similar to Adobe's defunct Multiple master fonts, where the endpoints are defined and any medial value is valid. With this, the user can then drag sliders in the user interface to make glyphs taller or ...
The typeface was the first QuickDraw GX font, and has been pre-installed in Mac operating systems since System 7.5 (1994). Skia includes "GX variations" technology that–if an application offers the UI–allows its weight to be adjusted smoothly between thin and bold, and its width between narrow and extended.
This is an uncommon choice in sans-serif faces, especially those designed for display on a screen, but several of the other ClearType fonts also make this the default option; lining figures can be suggested using an OpenType stylistic alternates menu or CSS font-variant-numeric: lining-nums.
