When I click on the PingFangUI.ttc font collection to install fonts in FontBook I get a "No Installable Fonts Selected" error.
It's normal for a “reserved“ TTC file to appear corrupt?
I don't want to download the fonts on the fly, just install the offline package which is located in the Reserved sub-folder from the Private Frameworks directory.
Any thoughts about how to fix this error?

PingFangUI fonts are OpenScript.
If you review the list of Fonts included with macOS Sequoia, you'll see that there actually is no "PingFangUI" font available. There are other "PingFang" fonts, but no "UI" version.
As I clearly demonstrated before, all available PingFang fonts work fine.
The PingFang TTC I had extracted from the mobile.font7 subfolder in the AssetsV2 directory is also broken because it contains duplicates. It differs from the original for the addition of the MO subset which was previously unavailable on previous versions of macOS.
However, before, I didn't notice that you were specifically referring to "PingFangUI". If you found that in some "mobile" "assets" directory, then it is most likely meant for support of mobile apps running on macOS or maybe even iPhone Mirroring.
Either way, this is not a font you can install and use. You can use the other PingFang fonts which are listed in Font Book. They don't name the directory "PrivateFrameworks" for no reason.
This is precisely the PingFang True Type collection containing the MO subset I wanted to install manually offline and NOT as a downloadable.
Downloadables are deactivated automatically by Apple without user's consent.
In short the Downloadables menu should display the «No downloadable fonts available» message once the fonts are permanently installed in the Fonts directory, allowing for manual activation/deactivation without the need to redownload them.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call “The Apple Support Community”.
Thanks for the reply.
Another question: since this font is unusable then why it's still available as an optional download? And there's no way to ignore and hide it from showing up.
I don't see what the problem is:
