Weunderstand that you cannot add new fonts into collections in the Font Book app on your MacBook Pro. There is no limit amount showing in: How to install and remove fonts on your Mac - Apple Support Does this same issue exist in a temporary test user? Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac A test user can show if the issue is happening with any user on your MacBook Pro or your current one.

I am also having this issue. If I create a font collection I am unable to rename it. I cannot drag any fonts into the folder. When I close font book the unnamed font collection goes away. My Mac didn't come with any font collections at all. I'm noticing during my searches online that most users have premade collections on their MacBooks when they get them. Mine didn't have this. I called technical support today and spent an hour on the phone and the gentleman I spoke to was at a loss. He was able to observe my screen and saw what I was trying to do and confirmed that it wasn't working properly. I have an up-to-date version of the Monterey OS.


Not sure if this is important information, but I immediately did a transfer of information from my PC laptop to my Mac using the Mac software and prompts when I first set up this MacBook. I'm not sure if this screwed something up or not. Please comment back if you find a solution. I'm at a loss and beyond frustrated.


At the moment you cannot set the font dynamically from the cms binding, unless you perhaps used a little custom code to read in a font name from a collection field and change the css style using a little javascript at run time.


The ClearType Font Collection is the result of a successful collaboration of both designers and engineers working together with respect, flexibility, and curiosity. ClearType fonts were conceived from the outset as a marriage of technology and the best in design expertise! This improves the appearance of text on certain types of monitors through the use of subpixel rendering technology.


You used to be ale to drag a font from the finder to a collection and it would install the fonts and add the font to that collection. Now the font just installs in the generic library. Anyone have a fix for this?


this is a super annoying time wasting bug (forced feature in a so-called new & NOT improved upgrade) that apple has not bothered to fix or acknowledge. they'd rather force users to WASTE TIME installing fonts into the big stew then force us to search for each one and manually drag each separate one into the collection INSTEAD of what we used to be able to logically & efficiently do: drag any number of fonts of a type into the correct collection / style designation.


I need both of the collection page banner title and description font to be smaller. How should I change that? Below is a screenshot to show where it is. The 'Gear' and the context underneath is where I want to change the font size.


Hi @ZestardTech really appreciate your solutions, however, only the title font size is working. No matter what size I set up for the description part, it doesn't make any changes. I have attached a screenshot to show that the title font size changed when I changed the number, but the description font size remains the same despite changing the size.


Hi there, I am currently running the Dawn theme and I would like to change the font of the collection titles, specifically when displaying in a collection list. I would like to change the font to Josefin Sans. For example -bargain.com/pages/rings-affordable-high-quality-jewelry at the top of the page below "Shop now" you can see the collection list, the font of the collection titles are uneasy to read and I would like to change the font of them. I would also like to change the collection banner font to Josefin Sans as I feel they would link well together (example of collection banner -bargain.com/collections/simple-ring "Simle Rings" at the top of the page). Any code to help change these would be greatly appreaciated. Many thanks - Charlie.


Hi there, I'm very sorry I forgot to include I dont want to change the heading fonts as I would like to keep the current font for all the other headings across the site, I would only like to change the font for the title of the collections. Sorry for the confusion. Many thanks.

when I follow the link I have page absolutely different from what I see in this video. There is no add to collection button, only download. but this is not exactly what Joy is talking about...What am I doing wrong?


Google fonts is a little different than in the video. Here's the link: . To add a font, click the plus sign. You should have a window towards the bottom left of your screen that says 1 family selected. Click that window and it will pop up. The link will be displayed under embed font. Hope this helps.


An OpenType font file contains data, in table format, used for rendering of text. Portions of the data are used by applications to calculate the layout of text using the font; that is, the selection of glyphs and their placement within a line. Other data provide descriptions of glyphs as TrueType or Compact Font Format (CFF) outlines. Still other data can provide monochromatic or color bitmaps, SVG documents or binary, 2D vector graphics compositions as alternate glyph descriptions. The font data also includes meta-information, such as name strings that can be used to present the font as an available choice in a font-picker user interface. Each of these types of data is stored in one or more tables, each designed for a particular purpose.


A Tag value is a uint8 array. Each byte within the array must have a value in the range 0x20 to 0x7E. This corresponds to the range of values of Unicode Basic Latin characters in UTF-8 encoding, which is the same as the printable ASCII characters. As a result, a Tag value can be re-interpreted as a four-character sequence, which is conventionally how they are referred to. Formally, however, the value is a byte array. When re-interpreted as characters, the Tag value is case sensitive. It must have one to four non-space characters, padded with trailing spaces (byte value 0x20). A space character must not be followed by a non-space character.


Within this specification, many structures are defined in terms of the data types listed above. Structures are characterized as either records or tables. The distinction between records and tables is based on these general criteria:


In some cases, fields for subtable offsets are documented as permitting NULL values when the given subtable is optional. For example, in the BASE table header, the horizAxisOffset and vertAxisOffset fields may be NULL, meaning that either subtable (or both) is optional. A NULL subtable offset always indicates that the given subtable is not present. Applications must never interpret a NULL offset value as the offset to subtable data. For cases in which subtable offset fields are not documented as permitting NULL values, font compilers must include a subtable of the indicated format, even if it is a header stub without further data (for example, a coverage table with no glyph IDs). Applications parsing font data should, however, anticipate non-conformant font data that has a NULL subtable offset where only a non-NULL value is expected.


Most tables have version numbers, and the version number for the entire font is contained in the table directory. Note that there are five different table version number types, each with its own numbering scheme.


The Version16Dot16 type is used for the version field of certain tables, and only for reasons of backward compatibility. (In earlier versions, these fields were documented as using a Fixed value, but had minor version numbers that did not follow the definition of the Fixed type.) Version16Dot16 is a packed value: the upper 16 bits comprise a major version number, and the lower 16 bits, a minor version. Non-zero minor version numbers are represented using digits 0 to 9 in the highest-order nibbles of the lower 16 bits. For example, the version field of 'maxp' table version 0.5 is 0x00005000, and that of 'vhea' table version 1.1 is 0x00011000. This type is used only in the 'maxp', 'post' and 'vhea' tables, and will not be used for any other tables in the future.


Minor version number changes always imply format changes that are compatible extensions. If an implementation understands a major version number, then it can safely proceed with reading the table. If the minor version is greater than the latest version recognized by the implementation, then the extension fields will be undetectable to the implementation.


Note that some field values that were undefined or reserved in an earlier revision may be assigned meanings in a minor version change. Implementations should never make assumptions regarding reserved or unassigned values or bits in bit fields, and can ignore them if encountered. When writing font data, tools should always write zero for reserved fields or bits. Validators should warn of any non-zero values for fields or bits that are not defined for the given version against which data is being validated.


If the major version is not recognized, the implementation must not read the table as it can make no assumptions regarding interpretation of the binary data. The implementation should treat the table as missing.


The OpenType font starts with the table directory, which is a directory of the top-level tables in a font. If the font file contains only one font, the table directory will begin at byte 0 of the file. If the font file is an OpenType Font Collection file (see below), the beginning point of the table directory for each font is indicated in the TTCHeader.
