Just to prevent any headaches and problems later on. Typically I’d recommend to leave all system fonts alone unless you have a very good reason to mess with them.
#All fonts for mac mac
This is persistent, so even after restarting your Mac the font pickers should stay a bit more clean.īefore you go ahead and deactivate the Noto fonts make sure you’re comfortable deactivating macOS system fonts.
Once deactivated the fonts should not be visible anymore in your design apps. Of course you can also manually pick some fonts to deactivate, for more information about deactivating fonts see the activation article.
To deactivate all supplemental fonts right click on the new Supplemental location in the sidebar and choose Deactivate.
Unfortunately many design applications don’t care about that and just show all these fonts in their font picker anyway.Įven though it’s probably better to hide them by default, since most users won’t ever have a need for them.īut this is the reality, so us designers need to try and work around it… Hiding supplemental macOS fonts from font pickers They should typically not be used in new documents, so it doesn’t really make sense to display them in font pickers. I assume these fonts are included for some kind of backwards compatibility and additional language support. These fonts are only available for existing documents (that already use these fonts), or for apps that explicitly request them. These six families are all located in /System/Library/Fonts and cannot be deactivated.īut your design apps might show a lot more Noto fonts, where are all the other variants? Document support fontsīesides regular system fonts which are available in all apps macOS provides some ‘document support’ fonts. If you look at the Typeface System tag you’ll notice it only shows six Noto families: Noto Nastaliq Urdu, Noto Sans Kannada, Noto Sans Myanmar, Noto Sans Oriya, Noto Sans Zawgyi and Noto Serif Myanmar. These supplemental fonts can be hidden by deactivating them in Typeface. The default macOS system fonts are located in /System/Library/Fonts.įiles located in that folder are required and cannot be deactivated, so these fonts will always be visible in design apps.īut fonts in the /System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental subfolder are optional. Option click on the User tag in the sidebar to view System fonts. Typeface automatically imports these fonts and you can view them using the System tag. MacOS comes with several system fonts of which some are required and some are optional. This can be annoying since they are cluttering your font lists and they might even slow down your design apps.įortunately you can deactivate some of the macOS system fonts using Typeface to clean up the font pickers.
