37## Old Zed Fonts
38
39Previously, Zed shipped with `Zed Mono` and `Zed Sans`, customized versions of the [Iosevka](https://typeof.net/Iosevka/) typeface. You can find more about them in the [zed-fonts](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed-fonts/) repository.

41Here's how you can use the old Zed fonts instead of `Zed Plex Mono` and `Zed Plex Sans`:
42
431. Download [zed-app-fonts-1.2.0.zip](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed-fonts/releases/download/1.2.0/zed-app-fonts-1.2.0.zip) from the [zed-fonts releases](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed-fonts/releases) page.
442. Open macOS `Font Book.app`
453. Unzip the file and drag the `ttf` files into the Font Book app.
464. Update your settings `ui_font_family` and `buffer_font_family` to use `Zed Mono` or `Zed Sans` in your `settings.json` file.
47
48```json
49{
50  "ui_font_family": "Zed Sans Extended",
51  "buffer_font_family": "Zed Mono Extend",
52  "terminal": {
53    "font-family": "Zed Mono Extended"
54  }
55}
56```

585. Note there will be red squiggles under the font name. (this is a bug, but harmless.)
