# Sources

Font Manager allows you to add or remove directories to scan for font files. Added directories are scanned recursively.

This allows keeping font files somewhere other than your home directory or temporarily "installing" a directory of fonts.

It also allows you to organize your font files anyway you like.

# To add a source:

Open the Font Manager preferences dialog by clicking at the top of the window.

Select "Sources" from the sidebar

Click

Select the directory you wish to add from the file selector that is displayed

# To remove a source:

Open the Font Manager preferences dialog by clicking at the top of the window.

Select "Sources" from the sidebar

Select the directory you wish to remove from the list that is displayed

Click

# To enable or disable a source:

Open the Font Manager preferences dialog by clicking at the top of the window.

Select "Sources" from the sidebar

Select the source you want to enable or disable

Click the toggle switch

While sources are always available within the application they are not available to other applications until they are enabled.

You can avoid having multiple copies of the same files by adding directories from other filesystems.

Font Manager will reload anytime changes require it. This may take a moment depending on number of changes.
