Fontbase fonts not activating install#
When you add your system fonts, as the app suggests at the first startup, they will be also simply copied into that folder, so when you install new fonts manually, they will not be displayed in FontBase. So, if you want to add any fonts to the app, you can simply copy them to this folder, too. When you add any fonts to the app, by default, they are copied to the FontBase root folder, which is by default located at /Users/USERNAME/FontBase on Mac, and C:/Users/USERNAME/FontBase on Windows. The app will suggest you add your system fonts or drag and drop a folder with fonts, to start using them. On the first launch, FontBase will be empty and have no fonts in it.
