So in one of my games I am using the font Quartz MS which is a windows font and
does not show up on mac.

Is it possible to import or package that font into my .jar file so that it will be used
in my game if someone runs it on a mac?

Right now, a friend of mine uses mac and the font gets replaced with the mac default
font which makes the text look terrible on that platform.

Thanks

Yes, a .ttf file should work cross-platform Smiley

Technically possible, yes. Legally possible: unlikely.
