I too lost many of my fonts -
           including my favorite ones when I had to change machines ???

       And so far no one has been able to show me how to get these back or
how to actually install new ones -
           I've even gone to some of these font-sites, downloaded some;
only to have those downloaded ones never appear in any program ???

Hi :slight_smile:
It depends on which OS. If on Windows then i think you have to drag&drop
the font files into somewhere like;

C:\Windows\system32\fonts

at which point each creates a pop-up that you have to "Ok". Then all
except LibreOffice will see your fonts. I'm not sure how to get
LibreOffice to see the fonts tbh, despite Tim having told us many many
times.

Hi *

I ever had such an issue on GNU/Linux and it was related to a font
cache problem. As OS X is using the equivalent behavior; I would
recommend you to clear your font cache and see if this solves the
problem. On OS X, first close all opened applications, launch a
terminal, and type:

sudo atsutil databases -remove

this will ask for your password, then reboot your computer. The next
reboot might take a bit longer since the cache of all fonts will be
recreated.
