/Library/Fonts

To find out removed fonts ,please click on go to go folder and type ~/Library find fonts ( removed ) .
To bring back to their original place .
( a ) Close all applications and form a new folder on desktop by pressing shift + command + N
( b) Please go to go folder and type ~/Library open folder Fonts ( removed ) , select all fonts ( command + A)
copy them ( command + C ) .
( c) Open the new folder that is formed on the desktop and press command + V , all fonts will be copied in this folder , you can verify it by opening the folder .
( d ) Then , open font book via spotlight on top menu bar click on file and again click on add fonts or you can do in another way open font book and click on plus sign .
