Macintosh operating systems 10.2+ and 9.2

For Macintosh, we support Operating Systems 10.2+ and 7.1 to 9.2. You will do best to use Unicode-compatible fonts with OS 10.2+. OS 10.2 can also use earlier fonts and keyboards, though 10.0 and 10.1 cannot.

OS 10.2 has amazing capabilities, and especially for those who use transliteration fonts, it supports automatic stacking and adjusted positioning of multiple diacritics. Click to the left for information on installing fonts and keyboard software.

For older systems, OS 9.2 runs the largest number of applications designed for OS 7 to OS 9.
