The font, you will need to find out what font the mac osx terminal uses and get it installed (if not already in Ubuntu) and then you can set it using the preferences in Terminal. For the colors of the files you will need to work with dircolors. How to Install Microsoft and Mac Fonts on Ubuntu.: Intro.: I am going to show you how to install the Mac and windows fonts on Ubuntu 10.04, but I have to give www.howtoforge.net credit because I found this on there and wanted to share this with the Instructables community.

I have switched to Linux / Ubuntu / Debian (Linux mint) LibreOffice from Windows Microsoft Word for editing my Resume. I noticed a complex problem of document cross-platform portability affecting the look, feel, and potentially the layout of a word document (.DOC extension). I didn't see this issue discussed in the Libre Office/Linux forums, so I wanted to save other people time by posting this information here.
- Each operating system comes with a different set of default fonts.
- Windows font files are proprietary files included in windows operating systems that they won't share with other operating systems without a licencing fee. Apple has a different proprietary set of fonts and for the same reason as Microsoft: to ensure the look and feel of their operating system and all the software that is installed on it is unique. Windows Microsoft Word software use the proprietary True Type Fonts (.ttf) that are commonly included in Windows operating systems (but aren't included on Mac / Linux operating systems).
- Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint only comes with licence-free fonts installed by default. They are available for free on any operating system, but do not come with Mac or Windows operating systems.
- If I use Ubuntu/LibreOffice bundled fonts, they will not be viewable on Windows / Mac operating systems. Or at best, in Windows / Mac will be displayed with a different font potentially affecting the layout, length of the document, and look of the words in your document. Unless, you choose an open type font (.otf) and select the option in LibreOffice to embed the font in your document.
- Different windows versions even have different mismatched sets of fonts bundled in each OS.
- LibreOffice / Linux developers have done a lot of work to make Linux software able to work with fonts that your Linux distribution doesn't have installed by default. If you type the name of a font that is not installed on your operating system, Libre Office finds a similar font for use in the document. In this case, LibreOffice doesn't tell you which (Linux) font it selected.
- Just because you can view a windows / OSx created MS Word document in LibreOffice on Linux, doesn't mean that you see the same document/font/layout because free alternative fonts (supplied by your Linux operating system) can't use the exact same font shapes.
- Just because LibreOffice can accurately display a word document with a similar free-alternative font(that has slightly different graphics, but the same size fonts), doesn't mean that a word document created / updated in LibreOffice will be accurately displayed by Microsoft Word (various versions) on all Windows / Mac / iPhone platforms MS Word is released for. I doubt Microsoft management finds solving this problem in a free open-source competitor for their flagship product a high business priority for the Microsoft Office development teams.
- Writer Version: 5.1.6.2 has a checkmark to embed your selected fonts under the File -> Properties menu. Embedding a font includes the font file ..

Wow. It turns out you write all that tldr pile of unconnected ideas about problems, and you use version 5.1? That doesn't make sense. New versions contain new fixes, and 5.1.6 from 2016-10-30 is 3 years old, and 6 major releases (5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3) with 6-7 bugfix minor releases each (but last) already released since then. It's possible you simply face problems already fixed.
This isn't a post about software bugs or even about a specific software implementation / version, but a description of broader, insurmountable, inherent limitations preventing cross-platform consistency for proprietary fonts leading to inherent inconsistencies across platforms and software implementations. This problem spans all software providing similar features (with varying implementations) across diverse operating systems. The proprietary, platform specific nature of fonts in each operating system and the extreme difficulty, complexity and limitations of trying to make a MS Word document file universally consistent across operating systems regardless of the chosen document editing software / version.
I setup my bios to the right settings and the Processor Im using a i5 that was in the buyers guide that i could use as onboard graphics, but everytime I try to install is hangs up. Quartz extreme for mac os. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz ExtremeI have snow leopard installed and thats the only os that will boot the motherboard is a GA-H81M-DS2Trying to install Mavricks or Yosemite and it will not come to install screen.
The best practice, even for Microsoft Word users is to only share their document in Portable Document Format (PDF) to prevent operating system, font substitution, or MS Word software version inconsistencies. This ensures a universally consistent document look and feel.
What you write here is not something fundamental, but something partly unrelated to the declared topic (i.e.,fonts), and partly wrong. But since you wrote a hell of characters, it's simply unrealistic to read everything both to discuss, and to 'get it as a useful source of information'.
I find it a nice write-up of the issues, and (if it is not already there), maybe this (combined with some info from comments) can be added to the documentation/wiki?
Do you want to make Ubuntu look like Mac OS X? If so, we're going to show you how to do it, step-by-step.
The whole point of using Linux is that you can do things like this
It doesn't matter whether you have a bad case of Apple envy, or you simply appreciate the design aesthetic of Apple's OS; there's nothing wrong with aping the appearance of a rival operating system.
After all, the whole point of using Linux is that you are free to do things like this — and hey: you certainly can't make macOS look like Ubuntu!
How To Make Ubuntu Look like a Mac
A stack of mac GTK themes, icon sets, fonts and cursors are available for Linux, just a quick Google away.
The ones included below are the ones we use/think give you the best Mac-like look on your Linux box, But don't be afraid to explore DeviantArt, GitHub and other avenues if our choices don't quite match with your tastes.
1. Pick the Right Desktop Environment
GNOME Shell
To achieve the most Mac-like look on Linux you need to use the most appropriate desktop environment and that is GNOME Shell.
This is not a slight against other desktop environments (DEs) as Unity, Budgie, MATE and Cinnamon can all be moulded to resemble Cupertino's computing OS too.
But GNOME Shell is the most customisable desktop environment. This is a key ask in a task like this. GNOME Shell lets you theme and re-arrange everything you need to with the least amount hackery or fuss.
If you're using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or later you already have everything you need to get started, so skip ahead.
But if you don't have GNOME Shell installed on Ubuntu you will need to install it first.
This is easy. Just click the button below and follow in the on-screen prompts (select ‘lightdm' as the display manager when asked):
You're also going to need to the GNOME Tweaks tool in a few steps time, so install that now too:
Once both installations are complete you need to logout and select the ‘GNOME Shell' session from the Unity Greeter:

A word on using Unity
One thing GNOME Shell can't offer, that the Unity desktop can, is global menu support.
Now, I don't consider this to be a negative as more and more applications use use Client Side Decorations, making the need for a global menu redundant.

But if having an omnipresent set of app menus stripped across the top of the screen is part of the Mac experience you don't wish to lose, stick with Unity.
2. Install a Mac GTK Theme
The single easiest way to make Ubuntu look like a Mac is to install a Mac GTK theme.
Our top recommendation is the ‘macOS Mojave' theme by Vinceluice. This is a near-enough pixel-perfect clone of Apple's OS skin, and is available in light and dark versions. It's one of the best designed Mac GTK themes out there (it also has a matching GNOME Shell theme).
The ‘macOS Mojave' theme requires GNOME 3.20 or later, so you'll need to be running Ubuntu 16.10 or later to use it.
If you're running the older Ubuntu 16.04 LTS release you can use the competent ‘macOS Sierra' clone created by the B00merang project:
Tip: How To Install GTK Themes
Once you download your chosen macOS theme from the link(s) above, you will need to install it.
To install themes in Ubuntu first extract the contents of the archive you downloaded, then move the folder inside to the ~/.themes
folder in your Home directory.
If you do not see this folder press Ctrl + H
to reveal hidden folders. Next, find the .themes folder or create it if it doesn't exist. Move the extract folder mentioned above to this folder.
Finally, to change theme, open GNOME Tweak Tool > Appearance
and select your chosen theme (and the GNOME Shell theme, if you also downloaded one).
3. Install a Mac Icon Set
Next grab some a Mac Icon set for Linux. A quick Google will throw up a bunch of results. Most, sadly, aren't complete enough to function as a full icon set, so you'll also want to use (and in some cases manually specify) a fall back icon theme like Faba, or Papirus.
To avoid all of that hassle you may wish to use the fabulous ‘La Capitaine‘ icon pack.
What's great about La Capitaine is that it's a proper Linux icon set, with custom macOS inspired icons for many Linux apps and not just a direct port of mac icons to Linux. It's also totally open-source, and is available to download from Github.
How to Install Icon Themes
Once you've downloaded your chosen theme from the link(s) above you need to install it. To do this first extract the contents of the archive you download, then move the folder inside to the ~/.icons
folder in your Home directory.
If you don't see this folder press Ctrl + H
to view hidden folders. Next, find the .icons folder or create it if it doesn't exist. Move the extract folder mentioned above to this folder.
Finally, to apply, open GNOME Tweak Tool > Appearance
and select your chosen theme.
4. Change the System Font
If you've used Mac OS X / macOS at some point in the past few years you'll know it has clean, crisp system typography.
Download Ubuntu Font For Mac
‘Lucida Grande' is the familiar Mac system font, though Apple uses a system font called ‘San Franciso' in recent releases of macOS.
A quick Google should turn up plenty more information (and links to download San Francisco font) but be aware that neither font is not licensed for distribution — so we can't link you to it, sorry!
Thankfully there's an open-source alternative to ‘Lucida Grande' called Garuda. It's even pre-installed out of the box on Ubuntu, so you don't need to go on a font safari to find it.
Head to GNOME Tweak Tool > Fonts
and set the ‘Windows Titles' and ‘Interface' fonts to Garuda Regular (or any other font you wish).
If you use Unity you can use Unity Tweak Tool to change the font on Ubuntu.
5. Add a Desktop Dock
Download
Ask people what a Mac desktop looks like and chances are they will mention its ubiqutious desktop dock. This is a combined application launcher and window switcher.
If you opted to use GNOME Shell back in Step 1 install the excellent Dash to Dock extension from the GNOME extensions site. This dock can be adjusted, tweaked and tune to look exactly like its macOS counterpart.
Dash to Dock doesn't look very mac-ish by default so you will want to dive in to the GNOME Tweak Tool > Extensions > Dash to Dock > Appearance
to change the colour to white, and lower the opacity.
Plank Dock
If you chose to stick with the Unity desktop you can set the Unity Launcher to hide (System Settings > Desktop > Behaviour
) and install Plank, a desktop dock, to handle app launching and window switching:
Plank can be configured with all sorts of themes too, making it easy to replicate the Mac OS X experience. Gnosemite is a faithful mac Plank theme worth a look.
