Hello!
I just got a MacBook Air from work and I have downloaded fonts and tried dragging them into FontBook. All that happens is a quick window flashes open and then closes and then they are not showing up as installed.
Please help!
Thank you!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
In Font Book > Preferences > Default Install Location, change whatever is there to the other option, restart, and try to install again.

Have you tried double clicking on the font file and then clicking on the "install" button?
That did the trick! Thank you!
hello, yes I have. I hit "install font" and/or drag the font into FontBook but nothing has worked. This is a work computer but I am listed as "admin" and have successfully downloaded and installed programs such as the Silhouette software.
Are there any other settings I should be looking at maybe?
Downloaded fonts won't install
