Testing should be done with the font temporarily uninstalled from your system, to be sure that your design is in effect. (You may use the fall-backs of serif and sans-serif, but you will get the font mapped to these by the individual web browser version used, within the fonts available in the OS version it's running under, and not what you designed.) Disabled fonts are dimmed and labeled Off in the list of fonts.

Disable a collection: Choose Edit > Disable Collection. Disable fonts or font families: Click the Disable button in the toolbar above the list of fonts, then click Disable to confirm. System fontsĪssume nothing, font-wise, about what device is visiting your website or what fonts are installed on its OS. In the Font Book app on your Mac, select one or more fonts or font families, or a font collection. Other fonts must be uploaded to the server, style and weight specified by their individual names. I get a message when trying to validate that says serious errors.

Tested working in Firefox 66.0.3 on Mac and Firefox 36.0.1 in Windows. I cant install many fonts from my font book in my old iMac to the font book in my MacBook Pro. (Quora warning, please remove if not allowed.) On all of these browsers, for example, setting font-family: Segoe UI Light works OK. Testing with Segoe UI, which often exists in different font weight versions on Windows systems, I was able to make Internet Explorer 9 select the proper version when using the logical approach (of using the font family name Segoe UI and different font-weight values), but it failed on Firefox 9 and Chrome 16 (only normal and bold work). The workaround is to include the information in the font family name, even though this is not how things are supposed to work. Web browsers have been poor at implementing font weights by the book: they largely cannot find the specific weight version, except bold. In this approach, font-weight is not needed (and probably better not set). So to test things out I tried to validate a bunch of them, including the system typefaces (arial, etc). I thought at first I was finding some sketchy ones but it looks like the majority of them wouldn't be validated. (Personally I use my own font listing tool, which runs on Internet Explorer only to see the fonts in my system by names as usable in CSS.) Hey guys, I just picked up my new MBPR and am having trouble installing new fonts.

The practical way is setting font-family to a value that is the specific name of the semibold version, such as font-family: "Myriad pro Semibold"
