How to deactivate unnecessary fonts in Mac? Our Mac comes with a considerable amount of fonts that we can use in our documents and we can add as many as we want. Many times the abundance of options is welcome, but other times, some fonts, especially in certain languages that we do not use, can unnecessarily lengthen the list. Fortunately, we can disable all the fonts we want.

How to deactivate unnecessary fonts in Mac?
Activating or deactivating fonts, as well as their management in general, is the task of the Font Catalogue. The steps you should follow are these:
- Open the Font Catalogue app, if necessary look for it in Spotlight, in the left sidebar we choose the font we want to disable.
- We touch the tic button at the top of the window.
- Click on Disable to confirm.
Remember that some fonts are system fonts and therefore cannot be deactivated. For those fonts that we have deactivated, if later we change our mind and we want to activate them again, we only need to repeat the steps that we have just learned.
No doubt to be able to manage the huge amount of fonts that come with the system by default, as well as all those that we have installed on our Mac, especially if we have been using it for years, is a great feature. This way you’ve learned how to deactivate unnecessary fonts in Mac.
