fonts and fontbook

I'm having trouble with font installation. I'm using Adobe CC. I installed fonts manually in the user folder. They can be used by photoshop but Illustrator does not see them. Also Font Book does not seem to be recognizing any fonts at all. I start it up and it sees no fonts apparently.

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), null

See these articles Welcome to Font Book - Apple Support

Install and validate fonts - Apple Support

If you have validated fonts Restore fonts that came with your Mac - Apple Support they will be moved in user library > folder > fonts removed .

If font is removed how to put back in the font book .

Close all apps. Form a folder on an empty desktop by pressing : shift + command + N
Click on Go , then Go to folder and type ~/Library open folder fonts ( removed ) , select fonts ( use keys on the keyboard command + A ) , copy it ( command + C)
Open the new folder on desktop , press ( command + V ) , removed fonts will be copied into this folder .
Open font book via spotlight on top menu bar , click on add fonts or you can do in a different way , open font book & click on plus sign .
Deleted fonts will be transferred to its original place .
