Install Mac OSX fonts on Linux easily.

Fonts available for Mac OSX work just as well on Linux. They are easy to install as well. Download a font package here: https://developer.apple.com/fonts/.

Unpack the font package with 7zip.

Bash
4.4 Sun Dec 29 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ 7z x SF-Mono.dmg

Then cd into the new directory created.

Bash
4.4 Sun Dec 29 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ cd SFMonoFonts/

Then unzip the fonts pkg file.

Bash
4.4 Sun Dec 29 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ 7z x SF\ Mono\ Fonts.pkg

Finally, uncompress the Payload file, and we can access the files.

Bash
4.4 Sun Dec 29 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ 7z x Payload~

The files I wanted are in the Library folder after everything is extracted. The fonts for Macintosh OSX work perfectly on Linux. I used the SF-Mono font for my terminal. It looks very good as well. Put the fonts into the ~/.fonts folder in your home directory to use them.

This is what it looks like once you are using a nice Macintosh OSX font.
