It allows users to install, remove, view, organize, validate, and manage their font collections. Font Book is included with macOS and provides a user-friendly interface for handling fonts.<br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
Font Book offers several features to help users manage their fonts:<br />
<br />
* '''Font Installation''': Users can install new fonts by dragging and dropping font files into Font Book. The application supports various font formats, including [[TrueType]], [[OpenType]], and [[PostScript]].<br />
* '''Font Organization''': Fonts can be organized into collections, which are user-defined groups of fonts. This helps users categorize and quickly access their fonts.<br />
