Font installation not working

The normal instructions for downloading new fonts to my mac do not work. I repeatedly get the error message "Could not install font. This may occur because of efforts to install fonts in files containing no valid fonts. Check your selection and try again." ARGH. WHYYYYY.

Unable Install fonts When I try installing any font, I get a message saying, "Could not install font. This may occur because of efforts to install fonts in files containing no valid fonts. Check your selection and try again." from the Font Book application. I've tried restarting my mac several times and it's still not fixed.

Can't install fonts I'm trying to install third-party fonts on mac os Ventura, the file checks and says that the font can be installed. But after pressing the install button, it writes an error "maybe there are no fonts in your file." Who faced the same problem?

New Macbook Pro will not install newly purchased fonts I recently upgraded my computer from a MacBook Air to a Macbook Pro. I had no issues with installing fonts on my Air but for some reason I cant get them to install on my Pro. I have tried dragging and dropping the entire font folder into my Font Book, I have tried dragging one font at a time, but nothing is working. I get a message saying "No Installable Fonts Selected" "None of the files selected contain fonts which can be installed on macOS. Check your selection and try again". Has anyone encountered this before, if so how do I fix it. I can't run my business without being able to install fonts when I need them.
