Your fonts are located at the right places where they should all go: HD/Library/Fonts (for all users) and /Users/Library/Fonts (available to you only). No problems should arise from that.

What I can suggest you is this:

Sometimes, more often when you have that many fonts, the font caches might get messy/corrupted. Before OS X 10.5 the font cache was located in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS (ATS = Apple Type Services). Since 10.5 font caches are now created for each user, and stored in a subfolder buried in /var, which are not accessible by default in the Finder.

If you are comfortable using the Terminal, you can find the proper procedure to clear the font cache here: https://www.macworld.com/articl…..clear.html

There are also a few utilities that can be found (freeware or shareware) that will do that for you.

I hope this will help.
