Font management can be divided into two views: the programmer’s view (APIs for accessing and controlling fonts) and the end user’s view (such as choosing a particular font in a word processor or control over sets of fonts for desktop or professional publishing). Strictly speaking, the latter belongs in the realm of applications and system services, but rather than scattering related information, both will be covered here.

Programmer’s View
Font Management
“Graphics include text as well as pictures. To draw text, QuickDraw calls the Font Manager, which does the background work necessary to make a variety of character fonts available in various sizes and styles. Unless your application includes a font menu, you need to know only a minimal amount about the Font Manager.” —Inside Macintosh, Volume I, page I-11b4b
