The fonts are for download in the file section of the Fronimo group, you can even you them in your text processor if you wish. As explained elsewhere also by me the use of Fronimo on a Mac is without big problems. There are a few keyboard shortcuts that work differently but I don't remember. Did you google on this list? It was discussed a number of times, as I said I explained in detail how I use it on a Mac. Good luck!
