Exorcize Your Fonts
|
|---|
| Ever since the days of the caveman, fonts have been a problem. Ditch Duplicates Open Font Book (/Applications) and select All Fonts, the top-most collection in the left-side pane. See all of the black dots to the right of entries in the Font pane? That means you’ve got multiple versions of marked fonts. To rectify this, select a font in the list (Command-click to select multiples, or go wholesale and choose Edit > Select All or press Command-A). Now select Edit > Resolve > Duplicates. This turns off extra versions of the font on your system that may have been installed by other users or applications. Errors and warnings can be hard to find in the master list; use the pull-down menu to find them. Validate Yourself Font Book can examine your fonts for potential problems, so why wait until your thesis comes out looking like Sanskrit? Select your main font library (All Fonts in the Collections list), choose Edit > Select All, and select Edit > Validate Fonts. (While you’re there, note the Validate Files option. If you’re paranoid, you can verify a font before installing it.) After you select Validate Fonts, any potentially problematic fonts will appear with a check mark, a yellow exclamation point, or a red X icon. Check the box for any font you want to remove and click Remove Checked.
