Nov 05, 2013  If you're talking about the fonts in /Library/Fonts, then those can be safely disabled. The worst thing that will happen is that some text will not display correctly and make look a bit crappy in a different font.

Font Book User Guide

You can use font collections and libraries to organize the fonts in macOS on your Mac into groups—for example, fonts you use for a specific website or all the fonts that look like handwriting.

Fonts are organized into default collections, which are listed in the sidebar on the left.

Fontbook for windows

Note: If you don’t see a sidebar, choose View > Show Sidebar.

Create a collection

  1. In the Font Book app on your Mac, click the Add button below the list of collections, then enter a name for your collection.

  2. Drag fonts to your collection.

You can add a font to multiple collections. You can’t add fonts to the English collection or Smart collections.

Create a Smart collection

A Smart collection groups fonts based on criteria, such as the style and family name. If a font meets the criteria, it’s automatically included in the Smart collection.

  1. In the Font Book app on your Mac, choose File > New Smart Collection, then enter a name for your collection.

  2. Click the pop-up menu under “Collection name,” then choose All to find fonts that match all the criteria you enter, or Any to match any one of the criteria.

  3. Use the pop-up menus and text fields to define the search criteria for the collection. Click the Add button to add more search criteria.

    For example, you can search for fonts whose Design Style is Handwriting, or whose Languages include Japanese.

To edit a Smart collection, select it, then choose File > Edit Smart Collection.

Create a font library

You can use a library to organize your fonts. For example, if you use a group of fonts only with a particular document, create a font library to store the fonts associated with the document.

  1. In the Font Book app on your Mac, choose File > New Library, then enter a name for your library.

  2. Select the library in the list of collections.

  3. Choose File > Add Fonts, or click the Add button in the Font Book toolbar.

  4. Select the font, then click Open.

  5. In the Font Validation window, select the checkbox next to a font, then click Install Checked.

Your collections appear in the Fonts window, available from apps such as TextEdit, but your libraries do not. To delete a font library, select it in the list of collections, then choose File > Delete [Font Library name].
