For some reason, I thought it would be a good and organized idea to put my fonts on dropbox and found this tutorial without having to change my font manager app:
Sync Your Fonts With Dropbox Tutorial — Sam Soffes


1. Go to your home folder in Finder.
2. Copy your Library/Fonts folder inside your home folder into your Dropbox folder. Be sure it all copied before moving on.
3. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities. Don’t worry. This won’t be hard.
4. Type sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Fonts and press enter. It will ask you for a password, type the password you use to login to your Mac.
5. Type ln -s ~/Dropbox/Fonts ~/Library/Fonts and you’re done!​

Well, it didn't work for me and I'd like to revert it. I'm not familiar with terminal commands and don't want to really mess anything else up. Could someone please help me direct it back to my internal Library/Fonts folder?

Open up Finder, press Command-Shift-G and enter ~/Library. In that folder, remove the Fonts folder (which isn't really a folder but a link to your Dropbox one). Now, go to your Dropbox folder and copy the fonts folder from there back to ~/Library.
