View and print fonts on your Mac in Font Book

If the preview pane isn’t shown, choose View > Show Preview.

1. In the Font Book app on your Mac, select a collection in the sidebar to see the fonts in it:

   • All Fonts: Every font associated with the Computer, User and Network collections, as well as additional system fonts available for download. This collection appears in the Fonts window in an app.

   • Computer: Fonts installed in the Fonts folder in the system Library (/Library/Fonts/) and additional system fonts available for download. This collection is shown only when the User and Network collections contain fonts.

   • Network: Fonts installed in the Fonts folder in the Library folder on a network computer (/Network/Library/Fonts/). This collection is shown only when you’re connected to a network computer that has fonts installed in that folder.

2. Select a font family or one or more fonts.

3. Change the preview as needed by clicking one of these buttons (from left to right) in the toolbar.
