If the preview pane isn’t shown, choose View > Show Preview.

   • All Fonts: Every font associated with the Computer, User, and Network collections, as well as additional system fonts available for download. This collection appears in the Fonts window in an app.

   • Computer: Fonts installed in the Fonts folder in the system Library (/Library/Fonts/) and additional system fonts available for download. This collection is shown only when the User and Network collections contain fonts.
