Sometimes if you adjust the tracking on a project it keeps those settings until you completely close the software (weird I know!). PRO TIP: If your script font letters are just not connecting and just look messed up, make sure to go to the Character panel and make sure your Tracking between each letter is set to 0. If your font has fun bonus OTF features like most do now a days, you can access them in the Glyphs file. Now you can exit out of Font Book and pull up any software you want to test the font. Check the box and click “Install Checked”.

This will automatically open the Font Book software in your dock. In the menu click “Open With” and then hit “Font Book”. Once you right click on the file ending in. If you are on an older computer and need to just use a bare minimum basic font format with no fancy functions then just use the TTF. If you want to utilize all of the ligatures, contextual alternates, and special characters the font has to offer use the OTF version. Right click on either the OTF or TTF file Important note: If you created the Fonts folder while an Adobe app was already running, you do need to restart that app, but only this once. So, if you can’t get your font folder to open as a rule of thumb just double check and make sure it isn’t accidentally still zipped. I can’t tell you how many people forget to unzip there file and think there is something wrong with it. A quick way to search for a file is to just go to the Finder and search your fonts name in the search bar at the top right. If you don’t you’ll have a hard time finding where the files even went. Make sure you know what folder on your computer the file is downloading to. Don’t worry! That’s why I’m here to help you.
