Font Book User Guide

To use fonts in your apps, you need to install the fonts using Font Book. When you’re installing fonts, Font Book lists any problems it finds for you to review. You can also validate fonts later.

Adding a font from Adobe Fonts is easy. While logged in to Photoshop, click the Add Fonts button in the Character Menu.

Click the toggle button to active fonts and those typefaces will appear in Photoshop (and other Adobe software) for immediate use.

On your Mac, do any of the following:

  • Drag the font file to the Font Book app icon in the Dock.

  • Double-click the font file in the Finder, then click Install Font in the dialog that appears.

When you install a font, Font Book automatically validates or checks it for errors.

Fonts you install are available only to you, or to anyone who uses your computer, depending on the default location you set for installed fonts. See Change Font Book preferences.

Download system fonts

System fonts you can download appear dimmed in the font list in the Font Book window.

  1. In the Font Book app on your Mac, click All Fonts in the sidebar.

    If you don’t see the sidebar, choose View > Show Sidebar.

  2. Select a dimmed font family or one or more dimmed styles.

  3. Click Download at the top of the preview pane, then click Download in the dialog that appears.

    If the preview pane isn’t shown, choose View > Show Preview. If you don’t see a Download button, switch to another preview type (the Download button isn’t available in the Information preview).

  1. In the Font Book app on your Mac, select a font, then choose File > Validate Font.

  2. In the Font Validation window, click the arrow next to a font to review details.

    A green icon indicates the font passed, a yellow icon indicates a warning, and a red icon indicates it failed.

Tip: To find warnings or errors in a long list of fonts, click the pop-up menu at the top of the Font Validation window, then choose Warnings and Errors.

    • Resolve Manually: Continue to the next step to review and handle duplicates yourself.

    The copy that Font Book recommends keeping is labeled “Active copy” and is selected. To review other copies, select one.

  4. Click Resolve This Duplicate or, if there’s more than one duplicate, Resolve All Duplicates.

    If you want the inactive copies to go in the Trash, select “Resolve duplicates by moving duplicate font files to the Trash.”

Using Web Fonts

One of the big constrictions on the freedom of web designers has always been the limited range of fonts they could use on pages. Because there are so many browsers running on so many different platforms, designers were more or less forced to use a very restricted set of fonts (often known as web-safe fonts) that were most likely to appear on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices. Microsoft’s set of web-safe fonts, including Arial, Verdana, Times New Roman, and Trebuchet, gained widespread use. They’re fine, but they’re boring.

Once again, CSS3 comes to the rescue. The @font-family rule allows you to use non-web-safe fonts by defining the location of a font resource, which can be either local to your machine or external. Different companies, including Adobe, Google, and others, have created online font repositories that contain a wide selection of attractive fonts that you can use in your webpages. If you do a web search for “web fonts,” you’ll find a wide selection of fonts, both free and available as a subscription service.

Using Adobe Edge web fonts

One of the big new features in Dreamweaver CC is its integration with Adobe Edge Fonts, which is a large library (more than 500) of free-to-use web fonts. Adobe Edge Fonts is a combination of Adobe’s own fonts, drawn from its much larger Typekit font service (www.typekit.com), and Google Fonts (www.google.com/fonts). When you use Adobe Edge web fonts in your pages, the fonts are delivered with the help of JavaScript to the user’s browser or to Dreamweaver’s Live view, from Adobe’s content delivery network (CDN). A CDN keeps copies of content, in this case font files, cached in servers across the globe. When a user needs a font, it gets served from a nearby server, speeding up the page load.

Dreamweaver CC uses the new Manage Fonts dialog to add fonts from the Adobe Edge Fonts collection to the Font menu in the CSS tab of the Property inspector. You can then apply those fonts to your own pages.

To show you how easy it is to use web fonts, we’ve created a simple example based on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It shows part of a famous conversation between Alice and the White Queen, with different fonts used for each character’s dialogue .

In this example, we styled Alice’s and the White Queen’s dialogue differently by using web fonts.

To use Adobe Edge web fonts

  1. Choose Modify > Manage Fonts.

    or

    At the bottom of the Font pop-up menu in the CSS tab of the Property inspector, choose Manage Fonts.

    The Manage Fonts dialog appears, set to the Adobe Edge Web Fonts tab .

    You’ll begin adding Adobe Edge web fonts in the Manage Fonts dialog.

  2. To add fonts to your font list, scroll through the font samples until you find fonts that you like, or use the search field or the filter buttons to narrow down your choices. To choose a font, click it, which will cause a check mark to appear in the font’s sample. To see just the fonts that you’ve chosen, click the “Show fonts added to font list” button .

    Once you’ve picked the font you want, see them all by clicking the “Show fonts added to font list” button.

  3. Click Done.

    The web fonts are added to the bottom of the Font menu .

    After you choose the fonts in the Manage Fonts dialog, they are added to the Font pop-up menu in the Property inspector.

  4. In Design view, select the text to which you want to apply a font.
  5. From the Font menu in the CSS tab of the Property inspector, choose the web font you want. Repeat as necessary for any other text on the page, possibly with different web fonts.

    The text won’t appear to have changed, because Dreamweaver uses JavaScript to load web fonts.

  6. Click the Live View button in the Document toolbar to preview in Dreamweaver how the web fonts will look .

    You can preview how the web fonts will look without leaving Dreamweaver by switching to Live view.

Using local web fonts

It’s possible to have web font files that you have locally, and that you wish to include in the Font menu and then upload to your website to be served along with the rest of your site. Dreamweaver CC can handle web fonts in the EOT, WOFF, TTF, and SVG formats. Once again, you’ll use the Manage Fonts dialog to make the fonts available for use in Dreamweaver.

To use local web fonts

  1. Choose Modify > Manage Fonts.

    The Manage Fonts dialog appears, set to the Adobe Edge Web Fonts tab .

  2. Click the Local Web Fonts tab.
  3. Click the Browse button next to the font format that you want to add.
  4. In the resulting Open dialog, navigate to the location of the font file, select it, and click Open.
  5. Back in the Manage Fonts dialog, select the check box next to “I have properly licensed the above font(s) for website use,” then click the Add button.

    The font appears in the box below .

    If you have web fonts on your local machine, you can make them usable in Dreamweaver with the Manage Fonts dialog.

  6. (Optional) Repeat steps 3–5 to add additional fonts.
  7. Click Done.

    The local web fonts are added to the Font pop-up menu in the Property inspector. Apply them as you would a font stack or an Adobe Edge web font.

Specifying custom font stacks

If you want your own custom font stack, you can do that with the Manage Fonts dialog. You can choose from fonts you have installed on your machine, and also any local web fonts you’ve previously installed.

To create a custom font stack

    • To add the name of a font that is not installed on your system, type the font name in the text field below the Available fonts list and click the left-facing arrow button to add it to the group.
    • To move a font group up or down in the list, select it from the Font list box and then click the arrow buttons at the top right of the dialog.
  4. Click Done to accept your changes.
