Managing Fonts with Font Book
Most of us have fonts...a whole lot of fonts and Snow Leopard adds to it (New!): Hiragino Sans GB, Menlo, Chalkduster, and Heiti. Mac OS X organizes fonts into main folders: User and Computer. Fonts in the User folder reside in your Home folder for private use, while fonts in the Computer folder are available for all users. Besides these folders, you can also organize your fonts into specific user-defined folders, known as collections, and then activate those folders, or specific fonts within the folder without having to restart your application. In addition, Font Book gives you a window to view the font, and change its viewing size.
Manage Fonts with Font Book
Click the Applications folder in the Dock, and then click the Font Book icon.
Click the Add Collections (+) button, type a name, and then press Return.
Click the Add Fonts (+) button.
Select the fonts you want to add to the New Collection (active folder).
Click Open.
Select a collection from the Collection column, and then click on a font to view a sample.
To increase or decrease the view of the font in the window, drag the view slider up or down.
To copy a font, click and drag a font from the Font window into another Collection.
If necessary, type search criteria to locate specific fonts.
To remove a font from a Collection (this does not delete the file from the hard drive), select a font, and then press the
Delete key.
Quit Font Book.
