Adding New Fonts
For full details on adding new fonts see here.

Copy a new TrueType fonts (*.ttf) font file in the directory /usr/share/fonts (for all users) or ~/.fonts (for a specific user, e.g. /home/pi/.fonts  – create the directory if necessary and note the dot').

You can test the new fonts are then available using Leafpad

Raspberry Pi Jessy connect to OSX

About how to connect your RPi to your network the OSX "friendly way" a.k.a. have it's drive at the Finder's sidebar and simply shared screen

Rasberry Pi Jessy keep the screen alive

I just wanted to turn of the screen blanking on my Raspberry Pi running Jessy, so I googled after it found this solution which worked for me:
"
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

In that file, look for:
[SeatDefault]

and insert this line:
xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms
"
But a lot of people complained it did not work for them so in the case it would not work it might worth to try this too

"
sudo nano /etc/kbd/config
edit these values to:
BLANK_TIME=0
POWERDOWN_TIME=0

"
