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?

Try dragging the font file into Home/Library/Fonts. You get to Home/Library by holding down the Option key and doing Finder > Go. If there is no Fonts folder, make one via File > New Folder.
