How to Use Mac Fonts on Ubuntu

Mac fonts are lucrative to say the least. But what if you are a Linux user? Can you use their fonts in your good ol’ Ubuntu? Preferably yes. Here is a very useful but simple article to download and install these  Mac fonts to your Ubuntu and use them.

The Fonts

• AppleGaramond
• Aquabase
