I like the new Menlo font on Snow Leopard a lot. I tried copying it over to my Windows machine, but Windows does not like the format. Does anyone know if there's any legitimate way of getting Menlo on Windows?
Thank you.

this font https://github.com/andreberg/Meslo-Font is designed to be similar to Menlo

3IMO, Meslo is far better on the eye than DejaVu Sans – jayrdub – 2013-08-12T22:17:29.830

This may be a bit of a workaround - but the font is very similar to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.
Here is a comparison (updated link) of Menlo and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono DejaVu Sans Mono (also based on Bitstream's original).
You can download the Bitstream set absolutely free (zip file).

7Actually, the site you link to compares Menlo and DejaVu Sans Mono. (It also notes that both Menlo and DejaVu Sans Mono are based on Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.) Still, +1 for reminding folks about these great open source fonts. – Telemachus – 2009-10-23T19:18:00.790

BTW, if you want to get any font from Mac over to your PC - just zip up the font(s) on the mac, and use CrossFont on PC to convert them. Done.

CrossFont doesn't handle ttc, and a lot of other types. – Anon343224user – 2013-08-16T23:17:50.833

I split ttc into ttf files using FontForge and I installed Menlo font on Ubuntu. It doesn't look exactly like on a Mac though. MacOS is better at font rendering.

For Windows 10 :
You can download Menlo font here and click to open it.
When you open the font file, you can see install button on left top side.
Click that button and install it
or
Open search bar and write 'fonts' and drag and drop Menlo font file into the openned fonts folder.
That's all.

Try converting the file to a Windows format; you could try DfontSplitter to do this. However, I'm not sure if this is legal.

You can download the original open source variant DejaVu Sans from the Web-Fonts project (also on npm)

This duplicates Redandwhite's answer. – fixer1234 – 2019-02-08T18:16:12.167
@fixer1234, I could be wrong, but I don't believe so. The comparison picture is the same (and inlined), but the where is different. This is the only answer here that points to the web-fonts project, which includes support for a lot of free typographies and seems to have a decent sized following. Since the question is where can I get this font, I believe this is novel even though it uses the same font. – KyleMit – 2019-02-08T18:38:31.183

I used OnlineFontConverter to convert the .ttc file to multiple .ttf files. There are of course copyright issues if you distribute the converted files, so please don't do it.

1Is it an OpenType font or some other format? – e100 – 2009-10-23T15:40:54.550
1To put that anther way, does the font file have an extension? – Electrons_Ahoy – 2009-10-23T18:29:10.030
@alex, there's a new answer. the accepted anwer points at a similar font, while the last answer links to the menlo ttf file. not sure if legitimate, though :-/ – Costin Gușă – 2014-05-15T17:55:41.597
