Solution
Get the individual font files and install FontForge.
Go to FontForge and follow the installation instructions for Mac, GNU Linux or Windows.
- Once you have it installed, create your family font. In Mac:
- Open all the fonts that make up your family in FontForge.
- Choose
File > Generate TTC.
