Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / March 2005

Hello All-

I recently installed IE 5.2.3 on a "clean" Mac OS X computer, but the
fonts that IE normally installs did not.  Where do I get these
fonts/why did IE not install them per usual?

For example, in the past IE installed the font "Comic Sans MS" and used
it as IE's "Fantasy" font (see IE Preferences->Language/Fonts).
However, when I installed IE 5.2.3 on a Mac with just the fonts that
install from Apple (with Mac OS X system disks; located in
/System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts), the IE installer did not
install "Comic Sans MS" or a number of other IE fonts (e.g., "Ariel",
"Brush Script MT", "Courier New", etc.).  Again, where do I get these
fonts, what is the complete list of fonts that IE normally
installs/requires?

Alternatively, which fonts supplied by Apple in the standard Mac OS X
install should be used for the fonts that IE asks the user to specify?
IE asks the user to specify fonts for:

"Proportional (default)"
"Monospace"
"Sans-serif"
"Cursive"
"Serif"
"Fantasy"

Which Apple fonts should be used for these?

Any help greatly appreceated.
