When you work with the Mac OS X Font panel, its fonts are organized by collection. The Collection pane shows you the font collections on your Mac collections are a means to gather fonts into groups to make them easier to select and apply. When you open the Font Book application, you see three panes by default (see Figure 8.11).

You can organize fonts into collections and enable and disable individual fonts or font collections. This application enables you to manage all the fonts installed on your Mac. The Font Book application is new to Mac OS X with version 10.3. To make a font available to a Mac OS X application, it must be installed in one of the Mac OS X Font directories similarly, for a font to be available to Classic applications, it must be installed in the Fonts folder in the Classic startup volume you are using. If you have fonts installed on a Mac OS 9.2 volume that you want to be able to use with Mac OS X applications, you can use the Font Book to install those fonts so they are available under Mac OS X as well.

Any user can install fonts into the Fonts folder in the Library folder in her Home directory.
