Once a font is installed on my Mac using Font Book, is it necessary to keep the entire folder's worth of stuff that the font was in when I downloaded it?
Can I save space and put that in the Trash? Or is it needed to make the font work?
For example, I just downloaded a font that came in a folder containing three files:
These seem expendable to me … but what do I know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Insights welcome. 👍
While in the Finder, select "Go to Folder…" from the "Go" menu and paste this line in…
~/Library/Fonts

You could drag and drop the hello-miami folder into your /Users/yourname/Library/Fonts folder and the included fonts would be recognized by the applications on your Mac as that folder location is one of three that the operating system scans for fonts. This is the approach I take for improved organization in that Fonts folder. I don't even bother with Font Book.
Thanks for your advice, VikingOSX!
A Spotlight search turned up five Users folders, all of which passed through to at least one folder with my name and at least one folder named Library, but none of which crossed paths with a folder named Fonts.
Oops!
You're welcome.
Necessary to save folder and files accompanying a downloaded font?
