Trying to install fonts to Font Book (Mac) using the Terminal

Solution 1:

/System/Library/Fonts is restricted with System Integrity Protection, since this folder is intended purely for macOS built-in first-party fonts.

Instead, choose one of the following locations depending on your intentions:

  • /Library/Fonts to apply to every user, existing and newly created.
  • ~/Library/Fonts to apply to the current user.
  • /Library/User Template/Non_localized/Library/Fonts to apply to new users.
