You may wonder why since you’re not trying to delete them from the drive, just disabling the ones you don’t need. Thoughts and suggestions on what to do regarding the System fonts in Ventura (and probably from here on):Īpple cut off access to handling even the Supplemental fonts in Ventura. It was time to move that data to an older, static page. We’re three versions of macOS in now from Catalina.

Anywhere it says a font manager can disable the Supplemental fonts is true for Monterey or earlier, but not for Ventura, and very likely any OS to come after it.Ĭutting everything off at Big Sur also allowed me to eliminate full sections that were completely obsolete for that OS and later. The main can/can’t issue now is the font manager reviews in section 12. But at least it’s still much less of a mess. Now we’re back to a can/can’t issue anyway. Or, at least I thought it would until discovering Ventura blocks you from disabling fonts in the Supplemental folder. That eliminated virtually all of the can/can’t situations.
My goal then was to use Big Sur as the new starting point as it’s the first OS version where the user could no longer remove any fonts installed by the OS.
It becomes difficult to keep so many straight. Why the extensive rewrite of this article?Īs with the previous cutoff, it had simply become too long and a mess of, “you can do xxx under this OS, but not this one”. I use them interchangeably throughout this article. The following words: program, application or app all have the same meaning. Users/ your_user_account /Library/Fonts/. Which, if you start by double clicking the icon of the boot drive on the desktop, the path can also be presented as So in most cases, the path to the Fonts folder in your home user account would be ~/Library/Fonts/. ~/ The tilde-forward slash pair is always your home directory (folder), i.e., the home folder of the current user login session. The beginning forward slash (as in the example to the Terminal application) of a file specification is always the root level of your boot volume. This is known as a hierarchical file specification in geek terminology, but it’s called a canonical filename for short. For example, here is the file specification for the Terminal application: I can’t tell you exactly what the path to your home account looks like (since I don’t know your short user name), so here are some handy notes of reference.Ī file specification is the entire path from the root of the volume it resides on to the end of the file name.

This should help novice computer users and those unfamiliar with standard notation to learn how to navigate to the folders mentioned throughout this article. By ’notation’ I am referring to the path name. I first want to mention the notation of file locations.
