Hello isebell28,
We have a great support article that might help with this. Please take a look at it here: Restore fonts that came with your Mac using Font Book - Apple Support. Follow this guidance:
- "In the Font Book app
on your Mac, choose Font Book > Settings. - Click Advanced, then click Reset Fonts.
- Click Proceed to confirm, and enter your password if asked (or use Touch ID).
Any fonts you’ve installed are placed in /Library/Fonts (Removed) or in ~/Library/Fonts (Removed). To install those fonts again, just reinstall them."
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
