My font book was working just fine until a couple months ago. Now it won't install new fonts that i download from font web sites (free fonts). I download onto my desktop, double click on the font file. Sometimes font book opens it, and there is a button at the bottom that says 'install.' Clicking on it will open up the larger window of font book, but it doesn't install the font.
If i open font book and click 'add font,' and choose the file to install, nothing happens. A tip i found online said to trash the font book prefs, which i did. Nothing happened. Goto Versiontracker.com and download 'Linotype FontExplorer X' Move your Font Book preferences from your (Library/Preferences) folder and then make an archive of Font Book (Control-click, create archive in the Finder) Delete the original. Now, install/launch FontExplorer X.
There is an option to clean font caches during install - do that and your Mac will reboot. Launch FontExplorer X again.
Now, there is an option under the tools menu in FontExplorer X that sets your system font folders back to defaults - do that. You should be good to go. FontExplorer X is free and an excellent font manager. Post back if you have any questions - this was a quick attempt to get you back running.
