Create a Mac or iOS Custom Font Policy

This policy allows you to supply one TrueType or OpenType font or typeface to a device or group of devices. The font must be smaller than 1 MB and will be embedded in the profile that is delivered with this policy. 

A TrueType (.TTF) or OpenType (.OTF) font or typeface is delivered and installed on the device. After installation, the font is visible in the FontBook.app, and can be used by any application in macOS. This policy works on macOS devices running macOS 10.15 and later and iOS devices running iOS 11 and later. 

Prerequisites

  • iOS/iPadOS devices must be enrolled in Apple MDM with the following enrollment types:
    • Device-Enrolled Devices - These devices are owned by the corporation and enrolled by the admin or by the user.
    • User-Enrolled Devices - These are personal devices used for work where the user enrolls the device to securely access corporate data while maintaining personal privacy.
    • Auto-Enrolled Devices - These devices are owned and enrolled by the corporation through Automated Device Enrollment.
      For more information see MDM Enrollment Method.
  • Target devices must be running iOS/iPadOS 4 or later.
