Whether you use Font Book or the Windows Font Manager, double click on your font file and press Install Font (or use your favorite font manager). Just click on a link to open them directly: Whenever you press Install or Save/Export, there's an alert that links to both the font file and destination folder at the bottom left of Fontself Maker. Instead, press the Font Infos button in Fontself to properly rename your font family name. ⚠️ Changing the font file name DOES NOT change the actual name of your font (the Font Family name) which is used to list your font across apps. Pressing Save/Export will prompt you to pick a filename and destination folder where you want to generate the font. Once you're happy with your design, it's time to save your font in a safe place (like your design project folder) or to install it across your system, so you can use it in other apps.
