I am trying to install fonts into Font Book with an .OTF file type (I also tried .TTF) and got an error message: Fonts not installed. Could not install fonts. This may occur because of efforts to install fonts in files containing no valid fonts. Check your selection and try again.
A friend just successfully installed these fonts on their Mac so not sure why it's not working for me.
Any suggestions?

Try again. When you hold down the option key and do Finder > Go you should see a list with Library on it, probably between Home and Computer. That is where you should see a Fonts folder. I've never seen it missing.
You can also drag font files into Library/Fonts, it should work equally well. (You cannot drag fonts into System/Library/Fonts).
Try manually dragging your font files into Home/Library/Fonts. To get to Home/Library, do Finder > Go while holding down the Option key.
Thanks! Strange it is not there.
Just create a folder named Fonts via File > New Folder while you have that window open. Then move your font files into that.
Thanks for your help...I went to Go>Home>Library but I don't see a folder named Fonts. Is there another place I should add these or look for the Fonts folder?
Sadly the font folder is not there - see below...any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Did it work? Can you now see the fonts in the apps where you need them?
Fonts not installed
