: Which fonts don't come with Windows 8 that would come with a new MAC? I'm a beginning graphics designer and I currently own a Macbook Pro that I got in 2010 that is really on the fritz
I'm a beginning graphics designer and I currently own a Macbook Pro that I got in 2010 that is really on the fritz and basically I need a new computer.
I am comfortable using both Mac's and PC's, so I have no issue there, but I am worried that if I get a PC I won't have access to the fonts that I am used to using on a MAC (e.g. Helvetica, Futura, Gill Sans).
I am wondering what fonts come on a Mac that don't come on a new PC and how much it costs to purchase these fonts?

Helvetica is the most obvious one... but also:
Lucida Grande
Gill Sans
Futura
Menlo
Monaco
Geneva
and Helvetica Neue...
Just to name a few of the big ones.
There is not much overlap in fonts except for core web fonts (Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Courier, Comic Sans, Trebuchet).
I think a more important question is which fonts you really NEED, are there acceptable susbstitutions, or what is the cost of replacing those. I doubt you need to have all fonts.
