Apple included support of True Type Collections beginning with Mac OS 8.5.

TrueType Collection is a TrueType format that allows combining many fonts into a single file. Fonts contained in a .ttc file have the advantage of sharing glyphs. This is helpful when you have several typefaces that would use the same glyph, such as the glyph for the copyright symbol (ВY), thus making the file size for the font much smaller. These fonts also were well-suited to the challenges of Asian language fonts which can use thousands of glyphs.

It is notable what font is no longer a dfont in the System fonts folder - Helvetica Neue. Snow Leopard ships with Helvetica Neue in True Type Collection format.

Then along came Snow Leopard. One of the surprises that arrived with the latest release of Mac OS X is that dfonts are virtually eliminated with the exception of Courier, Geneva, Helvetica, Monaco and Times. The rest of the fonts are either TrueType fonts or a format that has not been seen very often, TrueType Collection (.ttc). So in the case of Courier, Geneva, Helvetica, Monaco and Times, the experience using the dfonts will not change from Leopard to Snow Leopard. With those fonts shipped in Snow Leopard as True Type Collections, a new challenge awaits.

Adobe InDesign offered a unique solution to this issue. Because the system fonts were dfonts, InDesign was set up in such a way that if you activated a PostScript font that conflicted with a System dfont, it would show the PostScript font and its activated styles in its font menu, and not reveal the styles offered by the dfont. It appeared that InDesign was smart enough to realize that PostScript fonts would be much preferred by designers over the dfont format, and adapted to fit a graphic designer’s workflow. Both Helvetica and Helvetica Neue, which shipped with Leopard, were .dfonts. This did not solve the issue for other applications, but InDesign, being a desktop publishing workhorse, took care of things on its end. All is well and good, right?

Everybody is familiar with issues of fonts activated in third-party font managers conflicting with OS X System fonts. The issue does not really become a problem until you decide to use a font that is a common design font, such as Helvetica or Helvetica Neue.

The release of Snow Leopard brought a number of unexpected font issues, and one that I have been hearing about concerns Adobe InDesign, Helvetica Neue, and the system fonts that ship with Snow Leopard.
