Where Are Fonts Stored

[Lucia]

WithmacOS, you can add, remove, edit, and manage your fonts using Font Book. You can even create font collections and libraries. Your Mac comes with lots of built-in fonts, but you can expand or alter the collection.

In the Font Validation window, click the disclosure triangle next to a font to review it. A green icon indicates the font passed, a yellow icon indicates a warning, and a red icon indicates it failed. To resolve font warnings or errors, select the checkbox next to a font, then click Install Checked or Remove Checked.

You can also use a library to organize your fonts. For example, if you use a group of fonts only with a document (such as I do with my church newsletter), you can create a font library to store the fonts associated with the document.

There are many more fonts in Big Sur that are untouchable. In fact they are invisible. The only way to turn off multiple wasted foreign fonts in Photoshop is to create a favorite list. Big Sur will not allow turning them off. In previous Apple Systems we used to be able to turn off many fonts, but Apple Big Sur security has fenced them off, hiding them w the system.

This long running guide goes into great depth:

From the author: This article deals with font usage in High Sierra 10.13.x through Big Sur 11.x. Its main purpose is to show you where fonts are located on your system and which can be safely removed. The idea is to keep your font list as small as possible to avoid font conflicts (font conflicts are explained in Section 13). This article will benefit prepress operators and graphic designers the most, but can clear up font issues for most general users as well.

Thanks very much for posting this link. The article answers several questions I had, including why many strange fonts were appearing in font lists in the music notation app Dorico Pro. It includes a link to an app for hiding unneeded fonts, which Apple has made absurdly difficult in Big Sur.

I've not talked to the team or delved deeply enough into the installation specifics to know why it does that. It seems more like a matter of consequence to where they are stored and how they are added but that is my opinion.

Scripts have a folder you can add custom scripts to in the roaming folder that don't move also for CAM there are fixed folders for Posts, Tool libraries etc. Just seems the same should have been done for threads and now fonts. I can see you probably need 2 locations so the built in fonts and thread libraries can be updated without the risk or overwriting something a user has added.

@tom_bell_autodesk -- it looks like a recent update made this "add shx font" workflow break on Mac. Or maybe I'm missing something? Previously, I saw a bunch of folders and files in the Autodesk Fusion 360.app Package Contents. Now I'm only seeing a handful of files and directories.

@sklosky I just checked, and those steps in my last post should still work. It sounds like you might be looking in the Package Contents of an out-of-date: Autodesk Fusion 360.app

Try launching Fusion 360, then right-click the application in your taskbar > Options > Show in Finder. That should be the correct one.

One way you can change the style of a document is by adding a new text font. To add a font to Word, download and install the font in Windows, where it will become available to all Microsoft 365 applications.

All fonts are stored in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Optionally, you can add fonts by simply dragging font files from the extracted files folder into this folder. Windows will then automatically install them. To see what a font looks like, open the Fonts folder, right-click the font file, then select Preview.

In addition to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder, fonts can also be stored in other locations on the system. For example, some applications may store fonts in their own folders.

Another follow-up to this question. I need to find out the x-height and the line width of the arrow stem in various math fonts. I know how I can inspect otf. and ttf. fonts with FontForge and how to find out the mentioned dimensions in em.

But I would also like to handle fonts typically included via LaTeX packages: eulervm, newtxmath, newpxmath, mathpazo, .... As far as I know these are stored in different file types. For example, eulervm should be a virtual font (whatever that is) if I am not mistaken.

What kind of software do I need to inspect (or maybe even edit) the glyphs of the above mentioned fonts? How can I specifically find out the dimensions for the \rightarrow to resolve my tikz-cd issue with these fonts?

A virtual font is a set of instructions which basically refer to characters in other, non-virtual fonts. Virtual fonts permit you to make a single font by combining characters from one or more non-virtual fonts, without duplicating the characters from the non-virtual fonts.

Virtual fonts have the extension .vf when compiled. This format is the format TeX uses but is not human-readable. Virtual fonts have the extension .vpl when in human-readable form. It is possible to convert from VPL to VF and from VF to VPL. However, human-readable information is typically lost when converting from VPL to VF, so that converting VF back to VPL produces a less easily read file than the original. Comments and meaningful designations get stripped.

The best way to do it is probably to create a file which contains only the character of interest. That way, you reduce the number of PFBs used and reduce the risk of identifying the wrong instance of that character. Obviously, you need to ensure that the document uses the same font size and font configuration as your real document. But make the content minimal.

One caution, only use multiple fonts in a single document when their presence improves the clarity of what is being communicated. Else, it will begin to look like a preschool letter cut and paste project.

I have the same question. I need to have the actual files to import into Unreal Engine to be used in my game UI. Is that not covered in the license agreement? The way fonts work in their engine, they have to be converted to a file type that UE4 understands.

I only had one font installed so not sure what it looks like with a ton, but I had 3 folders in this directory. C, E, R In C, there's an XML file called 'entitlements' that lists all the fonts you have. In the file name, you can find a number that shows you where the font file you need is in either the E or R folder. For me, the font I wanted had a long URL with 'TkD-36501' in the middle. That 36501 is the number to look for in other folders. Not sure what the difference is in those folders since that number was in each of them.
