Unable to activate a font in Font Book in macOS Ventura 13.0

I am using a font that was officially purchased by my client from a type country (Fakt Pro). I recently started working on a new MacBook Pro with Ventura 13 as OS. Since then, it has been impossible to install that same font.


When I drag & drop the font on Font Book I get the following message:


"Could not install font. This may occur because of efforts to install fonts in files containing no valid fonts."


Colleagues of mine have no problem activating this font, with them it works fine.


What am I doing wrong or what is going wrong?


Restarting the programme and/or the laptop does not solve the problem.


Thanks for helping me out.

Try just dragging and dropping the font file into Home/Library/Fonts or Library/Fonts.

No idea what "Frontboard" is.

To get to Library/Fonts you open your hard drive icon, then your Library folder icon, then your Fonts folder. To get to Home/LIbrary/Fonts, do Finder > Go while holding down the option key and then select Libary.

Cool, I found the library folder and dragging the file in the Fonts folder worked. Thank you!
