Why Your Platform Matters
Format Support Varies
Windows and macOS support different font formats natively. Linux relies on fontconfig, while mobile platforms have strict requirements. Understanding your platform helps you choose the right output format.
Installation Methods Differ
Each operating system has unique font installation workflows. macOS uses Font Book, Windows uses the Fonts control panel, and Linux uses fontconfig directories. Mobile platforms require app-level integration.
Rendering Engines Vary
Font rendering differs between platforms due to different text rendering engines. What looks sharp on macOS might appear different on Windows. Testing on your target platform is essential.
