Once done, you'll see the label Off next to it in the fonts list. When the confirmation dialog box shows up, click on the Disable button. To disable a font, select the font in the Font Book app and click on Edit > Disable. While the fonts in a library end up in a dedicated Finder folder, the fonts in a collection stay in place. Instead, they're groups of pointers to fonts. Unlike libraries, collections are not groups of fonts. The default font collections ( Fun, Modern, Traditional, etc.) should give you some inspiration.

You can create a collection for, say, rounding up your favorite fonts, or fonts with a professional feel to use in specific types of projects. Think of font collections as theme-based sub-libraries. Click on File > New Collection to set one up and drag and drop fonts to it from any of the font libraries. To organize your fonts further, you can use font collections. Once it shows up, you can drag and drop fonts to it from the All Fonts library. To create a new library, click on File > New Library. That's where font libraries and collections come in.Īs you can see in the Font Book sidebar, you already have a few default libraries ( All Fonts, Computer, and User) to begin with. If you collect fonts, or plan to, it's a good idea to have a system in place to organize them.
