I have fallen in love with the font Garamond ... ahmm... it comes readily in windows machines (atleast definitely does show up post MS Office installation ... I hadn't noticed whether it was around prior to that)...
Now onto my question: it's not present in mac os X. Anyone have an idea how I could get the font pack for garamond (please don't tell me to go buy it! .. i'm not shelling out 40 bucks on a font) .. what i mean is ... could any of you validate whether it comes with the adobe professional install for mac or cs3?
It'ld be mighty helpful if any of you who have either of those softwares installed could go through their font library and see whether they have Garamond or not.
Thanks a ton! ...

Thanks for pointing that site out system_159; however, they're all unfortunately all commercial fonts that i'ld have to pay up for. Pretty neat collection of fonts though! ...

Sorry I'm a big Gill fan. -
I'm quite the fan for serif fonts (other than Times New Roman of course
). Book Antiqua, Garamond, Georgia...

.. but boy o boy there's something about the curves of that font that is really quite catchy ...
am a pretty big gill fan meslf... but ... for certain documents/ papers... garamond just rocks... ! -
Just copy the font from Windows (%windir%\Fonts OR C:\Windows\Fonts) into your Fonts folder (~/Library/Fonts)
Drag "Garamond" to the desktop while holding control. Then copy it to the Mac.
