Any good way to get the new Menlo font on Windows?

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?

this font is designed to be similar to Menlo

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).

I have found a github repo. Try here

Hope this helps.. :)

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Comparison between DejaVu Sans Mono and Apple Menlo:

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.
