We just got a new mac and we are trying to install all of our fonts from the old mac. We used font book and transferred them on to an external drive. Many of the fonts are locked and we we have no way to unlock them on the new mac. Any ideas???? We are a print shop so we need all of the fonts from the old mac.

Good video how-to. Do we need to do things differently now that Adobe doesn't support the older Type 1 formats? Which fonts work now? Only OTF?

Do you have any tips on how to group fonts? (i.e. 'fun', 'serious', etc?) I have a zillion fonts and have yet to find a method to the madness

I installed fonts from my previous computer into the Font Book, the fonts are active in the font book but I can't find them in Indesign. Can you help? Thanks

Do you know why a font won't show up in Illustrator if you install it in FontBook? They are there in other programs including Photoshop but not Illustrator.

This batch install don’t work with IOS Sonoma without individually toggling install when you drag them all in. Any idea how to batch install?

I have the font Barbie, and a second different font Barbie, the second one will download to the finder on the computer, but it will not go into font book. Do you know how I can get both in font book. Thanks,

So love all your videos they have ben so helpful for me. I recently got a Mac Mini 2, previously had/have an iMac late 2013 which is still very useable but I could not update to the newest versions of Adobe software any longer. So I think from what I have read that at least Ventura and Sonoma no longer support anything but TTF and OTF fonts, is that correct? I have a lot of postscript fonts.
