Remove, disable, or enable fonts in Font Book on Mac
When you remove fonts from your Mac, they aren’t available in Font Book or in the Fonts window. If you don’t want to remove a font, you can disable it—disabled fonts remain on your Mac, but aren’t listed in apps or in the Fonts window. If you change your mind later, you can enable the fonts again.
Important: You can’t remove or disable system fonts. See the Apple Support article Fonts included with macOS Monterey.
