This Fonts folder offers universal access. Or, if you usually want to install fonts for everyone, change the Default Install Location in Font Book Preferences (Font Book →Preferences or ⌘+, comma). The Fonts folder in the Library inside the System folder is reserved for macOS and can’t be modified easily.
How To Download Fonts On Mac Osx Os
To use fonts in your apps, you need to install the fonts using Font Book. You can also use Font Book to preview the way a font looks.
Install fonts
You can install fonts from a location on your Mac (or a network you’re connected to), or download available fonts right in the Font Book window. Fonts that you can download are dimmed in the font list.
Install fonts from your Mac or network: Click the Add button in the Font Book toolbar, locate and select the font, then click Open.
Download fonts: Click All Fonts in the sidebar on the left, then select a dimmed font family or one or more styles. Click Download in the preview pane, then click Download in the dialog that appears.
If the preview pane isn’t shown, choose View > Show Preview. If you don’t see a Download button, switch to another preview type (the Download button isn’t available in the Information preview.) For more about the preview pane, see the next task.
You can also double-click a font file in the Finder, then click Install Font in the dialog that appears.
All fonts you install or download appear in Font Book, and are available to use in your apps.
