  Old  Mac Users - Help?

Hello there people, if anyone has experience with using different fonts on the mac, could you please drop me a PM?

I've got a PC font, but i need to use it on the mac - if anyone has a large collection of fonts to help me out, would be great

If the font is a .ttf file it will work fine with OSX. Basically click on the file/s and font book should open and you just click install and everything is done
