Q: how to insert fonts from font book
I can drag a font from font book when I'm typing on my website in Safari but I'm sure there's a more sophisticated action in OS X El Capitan. Where do I start looking to find out how ?

Anyhow, when i edit I need to insert the occasional font that is not available other than from Font Book. In Word for Mac & other forms I can for example press C+8 & presto, there's my é. I can't do that here while I'm typing this. I need to go to Font Book & drag the character into this sentence. What I was hoping for someone to tell me is that there's a way to insert a font into here without having to open the Font Book, look for the font & then drag it into this sentence. Can I ?

I think the nomenclature you are using is part of the problem. You don't insert a "font" or drag "fonts" into a website. A font is a collections of characters all in the same style, such s Helvetica. It sounds like you are talking about typing special characters based on your example. Such as àáâäæã… etc. which you can do by holding down the letter you want accented for a second or two which brings up a popup menu of characters. You can also insert characters from the keyboard and emoji & symbols viewers.
I see I type too slow.
