Over the Rainbow is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

Over the Rainbow is a font available through Google Fonts and Homebrew Cask. This cask installs one font file, OvertheRainbow.ttf, in the current user’s ~/Library/Fonts folder; it does not install a separate application.

  • The installed artifact is a TrueType font file (.ttf).
  • The cask provides only OvertheRainbow.ttf; it does not install additional font files or styles.
  • To use it, select “Over the Rainbow” as the font in an application that supports installed fonts. It is not specifically identified as a coding or monospaced font, so editor or terminal use for coding should not be assumed.
  • Installing the font file does not by itself establish the full range of supported characters or any ligature support.

Install with Homebrew Cask:

brew install --cask font-over-the-rainbow

After installation, choose the font in a compatible application. Google Fonts
