When I downloaded this app, my biggest fear is the huge number of fonts would be easy to work with, especially if the use that stupid, oid fashioned statndard of listing fonts in order in the select box used for choosing a font to use.
If they were in alphabetical order, can you imagine how much easier it would be to find what you are looking for? Fortunately, no worries. You can spend all the time you want searching through a randomly ordered list and if you are lucky, the font will be there and you won't be able to find it. The developers really thought of everything, carefully excluding a font preview, so you can have the least possible idea of what a font looks like before trying it.
The app itself includes a limited font previewer but the best way to use the fonts is to just click the Copy Fonts button that adds the entire folder of fonts to a location on your computer of your choosing.
You can then open the folder and use Font Book to install and activate your fonts. A lot of great fonts are included with this pack. You can use Font Book preferences to set the default install location, which determines whether the fonts you add are available to other user accounts on your Mac. Fonts that appear dimmed in Font Book are either disabled "Off" , or are additional fonts available for download from Apple.
You can disable any font that isn't required by your Mac. The font remains installed, but no longer appears in the font menus of your apps. You can remove any font that isn't required by your Mac.
