i have two users on my iMac, i want to transfer the font book from one to the other ?

I downloaded a bunch of fonts on my first User profile, now I don't use it because of problems and I now use a new profile.


How can I get the font book from one user to over ride the other one ??


thanks in advance

imac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Font Book is an application available to all accounts.

There are three Font folders (provided by OS X)

/System/Library/Fonts

Contains fonts essential to the proper working of the OS and various included applications.


/Library/Fonts

Contains the standard set of fonts provided with the OS version, and is where you should put any fonts that you want to be shared by all accounts


~/Library/Fonts

Is the folder in each account. Fonts in here will be available only to that account.


Log into your old account and transfer the fonts from

~/Library/Fonts to /Library/Fonts

"/" indicates the root (Macintosh HD), "~/" is shorthand for your user folder.
