To enable this feature, you need to use the Watched folders setting.Īfter you have added some fonts, you already can search for fonts, explore the specimen page, organize your fonts into collections, apply different styles, and much more. When you add your system fonts, as the app suggests at the first startup, they will be also simply copied into that folder, so when you install new fonts manually, they will not be displayed in FontBase. So, if you want to add any fonts to the app, you can simply copy them to this folder, too. When you add any fonts to the app, by default, they are copied to the FontBase root folder, which is by default located at /Users/USERNAME/FontBase on Mac, and C:/Users/USERNAME/FontBase on Windows. The app will suggest you add your system fonts or drag and drop a folder with fonts, to start using them. If I have to skip font book entirely I'm ok with that, but would prefer for it to just work.On the first launch, FontBase will be empty and have no fonts in it. Note 2: I've only just recently taken to manually installing the fonts into the user font folder library. The new fonts I've purchased are in the OTF format and they've worked (all but one for some reason). Note: The fonts are perhaps 20+ years old and in the old "type 1" format. So I'm wondering if this is actually an issue with the font book app, and can I reinstall just that app without major problems, or is that tied with the system install (I'm not ready to reinstall the entire system yet either).
There is no window or option to install the font. OR 2) the font will open font book, but then nothing happens.
After much reading many people say it's safe to install anyway (and I feel fairly safe since like I said they worked fine on my previous imac).
Either 1) the font opens and I see a red warning about critical errors (I forget the exact wording). I double click the font (like I usually did) which then opens Font Book. After a ton of research to try and fix the issue, and mostly resigning to the fact that there is no fix, I just have to re-purchase (almost all) of my fonts again. But since day one, I've had nothing but problems trying to load my (old) fonts (that worked perfectly fine on my previous imac).
My imac is maybe 7-9 months old now and came with Catalina installed - (due to the many bad stories I've seen on this sub I'd rather not jump to Big Sur).
