How to make the Apple Watch's 'San Francisco' your Yosemite system font

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/make-your-yosemite-mac-look-apple-watch-new-system-font' title="How to make the Apple Watch's 'San Francisco' your Yosemite system font"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/11/san_francisco.jpg?itok=X36tMr8d' />[/url]</p> <p>San Francisco is a new font you'll be seeing a lot more of in the coming months, thanks to its debut on the Apple Watch (http://www.imore.com/apple-watch). Now the font is available for download and installation on your Yosemite-based Mac, thanks to a new project available on Wells Riley's GitHub page (https://github.com/wellsriley/YosemiteSanFranciscoFont).<!--break--></p>

<p>These San Francisco fonts have a special name table with names identical to those of the system fonts. Because the font folder /Library/Fonts takes precedence over the fonts which are in /System/Library/Fonts, these specially crafted fonts are used for the user interface instead of the real system fonts. The original system fonts are not deleted or modified in any way.</p>

<p>This only works on Yosemite-based Macs and it will only replace Helvetica Neue with San Francisco, which is another sans serif font that's even more lightweight than Helvetica Neue is.</p> <p>You can find the files you need and instructions (including steps on how to later undo this, if you wish) on the Github page. It requires some skill, a deep obsession with fonts, and there are several disclaimers. So, read carefully and proceed at your own risk.</p> <p>Source: Wells Riley (https://github.com/wellsriley/YosemiteSanFranciscoFont))</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28493"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/40aea3e5/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
