Installing fonts into library?

I have been having issues with adding some fonts to my archive, and there doesn't seem to be any application that I can use to install them. I would appreciate any help I can get because my typography is really lacking.

Separately, just open Font Book and drag your fonts into the window. Also, if you double click the font you get a window saying something like "do you want to install this font?" Then click on the button.
Also, check out the help on font library in the finder.

  • Intel iMac frozen after dragging a folder full of fonts into library, fonts. Is there any way to reverse what I have done?

    iMac will not complete booting up or even safe boot after I dragged a folder full of fonts into my library/fonts folder. Is there any way to access the fonts folder and remove them?

    What you need is Time Machine. It will solve this problem. Just go back "in time" and correct the problem. You will need to reboot from your install disks.
    If you don't use Time Machine, then thats another problem all together...

  • How to install Fonts into Adobe Illustrator

    I am using a computer that runs on Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Hi there I want to know  how to install new Fonts / Typefaces into Adobe Illustrator CS3?
    I am also curious as to how I would install fonts on other Adobe CS applications?
    All help, links, and resources much appreciated.

    I just dragged and dropped the downloaded ".tff" font files into in Font Book icon in theDock and a new window popped up and just click "Install Font" button.
    That works, too. Sets are, more than anything else, just a way to organize your fonts by project. By dropping the font in, it should now be listed in one of the standard headings like "Computer".
    The new fonts have automatically loaded into Adobe Illustrator CS3 without having to close it.
    Better apps will see when fonts have been enabled or disabled without having to close and restart them. Microsoft Word (and likely the entire Office suite) does not.

  • Installing fonts into font book

    I'm having a problem installing some fonts into Font book. I've got he fonts on my desktop, when I double click them, Font book opens them up. When I then click "install font", nothing happens. I've changed the destination via preferences in Font book (default install location). Still nothing. Something interesting though, it looks like somethings happening when I click install. The Font book window kind of blinks, then "Baskerville is selected. But no new fonts.

    I'm having the same issue trying to install an .otf font, which the article says I should be able to install and the font company hasn't had any trouble with in the past. Any other ideas?

  • Importing installed fonts into CS6

    Hello everybody,
    I have acquired InDesign CS6 for a couple of my users and have installed our firm’s standard Marketing font (various weights of HelveticaNeueLTStd) on their PCs and added the font files to the InDesign folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\Fonts, installed from there as well, however the fonts do not seem to import into InDesign when it is run.
    I have followed all direction I have found online without any success. 
    Is this something someone has seen before and if so, how did you resolve it?
    Would be most grateful for any help/direction at all.
    Thank you.
    Henry

    Hi P Spier,
    All of that basic stuff done, however I did not delete the .lst file.
    Once that was done and the PC was restarted, my new fonts now appear in InDesign.
    Guess you are Mr FixIt!!!
    Most grateful for your solution.

  • Installing Fonts on CS3

    I am so lost; Can someone please tell me how to install downloaded fonts into CS3, I have already extracted them, but for some reason they wont appear in photoshop?

    You don't install fonts into CS3. You install them into your operating
    system, and then they're available to all applications, including
    Adobe's as well as everything else you've installed. See your
    operating system documentation or help file or use a google search,
    for the specific version of Windows, Mac, Linux, or any other.

  • Who knows how to install fonts CS5 w/win xp?

    I am running Adobe Web Premium CS5 on a Windows XP sp3 machine.
    I want to install some fonts for the CS to utilize and load on startup.  Previously, with CS4, all I had to do was place the font files in the following folder
    C:\program files\common files\adobe\fonts\
    What is the equivalent folder when running CS5 in WinXP?
    I cannot install fonts into the system fonts folder, due to access restrictions (i am a non-administrator).
    There is also a performance advantage to this, as the fonts in the above folder are not indexed by the OS.
    Thank you for any help!

    That feature is dead. Installing fonts in the system folder is mandatory.

  • Can't install fonts in user/library/fonts folder

    I have a problem which has a number of different symptoms (I presume they are related as they all started at the same time):
    I can't install any fonts into my user/library/fonts folder. Or, rather, I can install them but they vanish about five seconds later
    I have three files on my desktop. Every 60 seconds (precisely) they vanish for about a second and then reappear
    Seemingly randomly, but always when I empty the trash, I get a message saying "The last time you opened Finder, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?"
    The error message I get in (3) above always disappears when the desktop files blink as in (2) above.
    These problems only started in the last 24 hours. Yesterday I installed an update which took me to Mail 6.6. I also installed a Microsoft update to Word. I also installed an update for TechTool Pro taking me from v6 to v7.
    Solutions I have tried:
    I have checked SMART status (no problems)
    I have verified volume structures (no problems)
    I have reset boot and kernel caches
    I have deleted font caches
    I have reset home directory permissions and ACLs
    I'm running a MacBookPro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    I am stuck, puzzled, frustrated but hopeful that someone in this community can help me out.
    If you can, I would be so very very grateful.

    Also when I called Wacom support they actually had me create a new user account to install the software. It's odd that I can install the fonts in the applications folder in one user account but they do not show up in the administrator account.
    As I stated, if that new account was an admin one, the fonts should be available to all users. Alternatively, they might be user specific, but you'll have to ask Wacom about that.

    You just install it in the OS.
    Photoshop gets the fonts from the OS.

  • How to install Type 1 fonts into JRE?

    I am trying to generate Type 1 font postscript file by java. And I have successfully installed Type 1 fonts in both Windows and Linux operation system. But when I use following Java code to display the available system fonts, there are no Type 1 fonts displayed.
    GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    Font[] fonts = ge.getAllFonts();
    for (int i = 0, length = fonts.length; i < length; i++) {
    System.out.println(fonts.getName());
    Then I copied all the Type 1 fonts to JRE/lib/fonts dir and modified the fonts.dir to append Type 1 fonts information. But preceding java code returns the same result to me, also no Type 1 fonts displayed.
    How can I install Type 1 fonts into JRE?
    Thanks!

    Thank you Jeff.
    Welcome to the forum McDermottPhotography,
    You will need to download and install the ttf (true type font again) on your new machine. I am not sure if the following is the font that you are referring to, but here is one named similiarly http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Chisel+Thin+Normal/. 

  • I have a downloaded font file for a school problem on a flash drive and I do not know how to install it into my photoshop application. Need to be walked through this as I am an older user who does not understand any of this stuff.

    Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.

  • FONTS-I drag fonts into FontBook and they wont install, why?

    Im going NUTS!!! Im trying to install a handful of some of the more general fonts and having the worst trouble! Why is it sometimes when i drag a font into Fontbook, it doesnt install? Im trying to install a bunch of Berkley style fonts and it will only seem to accept 1 of them, why? Also when i go to Add Fonts and go to where a list of fonts are, why are some of them grayed out and others i can click on?

    Turn off Automatic Activation is Fontbook Preferences.

  • Font Book does not allow me to move fonts into categories.

    I recently started using Pages to do some desktop publishing work and I decided it would help me out to make some font categories so I can find the fonts I need quickly. I set up the categories in Font Book, but after three tries in two days am about ready to pull my hair out. I can place one or two fonts into a category folder but then it stops working. I drag a single font to the folder, the plus sign shows up like it's moving but then it never shows up in that category. If I delete the category and start over, I can get one or two fonts into the folder and then it stops working again. I had them in categories on my older macbook and never had this issue.
    I've tried restarting Font Book, restarting the computer and deleting the preference files. All my software is updated to the current versions. I've searched for this problem online and haven't found any help. I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice as to how to proceed. Thanks!

    Application corruption problems:
    Quit the application.
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FontBook.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • How to install Fonts on G4 running 10.3.9 and Classic 9.2.2

    Just purchased a used G4 and it is a super machine. I am having a problem, however, installing my fonts (from a CD) into Font Book. I am getting wicked nostalgic for my G3 where I just dragged my fonts to my System folder and bingo! They installed! On the G4, in Font Book, I just can't get them to come up in the column, and when I tried installing each individually, they never show up, even after restart. I have tons and tons of fonts I use all the time.
    Why won't they go where they should? Because of this, all my type is chunky in Quark. Grrr.

    In addition to Kappy's advice.
    Font Book won't activate any fonts for Classic unless you tell it to use "classic Mac OS" as the activation method (before 10.3.5). It then puts installed fonts in the OS 9 (Classic) /System Folder/Fonts/ folder. In that location, both OS 9 and OS X can use the fonts.
    For 10.3.5 and later, which is where you are, Font Book will only store installed fonts in either the /Library/Fonts/ folder, or the Fonts folder of your user account; whichever one you chose in its preferences. In either location, OS 9 will not see the fonts. If you need an OS 9 application to see the fonts you want open, then you either need to place them manually into the /System Folder/Fonts/ folder, or use a font manager that will activate fonts simultaneously for OS 9 and X. Suitcase X or X1 can do that, as can FontAgent Pro.
    ...when I tried installing each individually, they never show up, even after restart.
    If what you're talking about is Type 1 PostScript fonts, you may not have copied everything over. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
    Adobe Garamond
    AGarBol
    AGarBolIta
    AGarIta
    AGarReg
    AGarSem
    AGarSemIta
    The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
    1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
    2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
    3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You will get exactly what you are having problems with. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

  • Can I copy fonts from /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts to /Library/Fonts ?

    Hi,
    Short Version
    The short version of my question is in the subject (specifically, I'm referring to files of type afm, pfb, pfa and maybe some other sort of pf? located in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/)
    Long Version
    Here's the long version, along with an explanation of why I'm interested. Please keep in mind that the only thing I know about fonts is what is contained in the xfig documentation.
    I'm using LaTeX Equation Editor. (It, in turn, is using the TeXlive 2007 distribution of (La)TeX. Yes that replaced some "system files" like /usr/bin/pstopdf, but I recovered them from another Leopard Mac.) However, the equations which LaTeX Equation Editor is rendering just look wrong; for example, the equation $a=b$ renders in a boxy upright font, whereas the symbols are supposed to be italicized (math mode). Some symbols (for example $\epsilon$ a.k.a. ε) just don't appear. However, I found that the directory /tmp/random string of hyphenated numbers/ contained equation.tex, equation.eps and equation.pdf (among other files). Examining equation.eps using gv renders the equation correctly. However, viewing equation.pdf in Preview reproduces the faulty rendering. The faulty pdf is reproduced by regenerating equation.pdf using epstopdf (as supplied by TeXLive). Using (Apple's) pstopdf instead results in a slightly better result, but symbols like ε are still missing.
    Just using the eps file is not useful (in addition to being kludgy) because the problem is also reproduced if I import the eps file into Keynote. Using Grab to take a screen shot of gv's successful rendering eliminates the transparent background, which results in an ugly import into Keynote.
    Incidentally, I did not have this problem when using Tiger.
    I'm assuming, particularly since gv didn't even work properly until I had installed fonts following the xfig documentation, that this is a font issue, and that, in particular, my X11 fonts are not transferring to Aqua. Is there a way of transferring the X11 fonts I installed for gv etc. to Aqua and if so how? Do I have to worry that font files in Aqua appear to be named after the name of the fonts, whereas under X11, the map from font name to font file appears to be the purpose of the extra file /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.dir?
    Thanks!

    You must in fact add your custom fonts, as the default font set will be the same on all macs running Lion.
    You do not offer details, but I may confess what I do in order to have the same font set on all macs at home, just in case someone needs to work on another computer. Usually, they are linguistic fonts.
    - I do not install additional fonts, bar the first time when I install a new Mac OS
    - save all fonts stored in System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts unto an xternal drive, just in case something wrong happems
    - I have a folder with my custom fonts, which are added to all macs around
    I do not know what you want to do, but I offered a hint.
