Font is at least favorite Mac troubleshooting tasks. To understand exactly what happens and what the repair is required too often feel a bit above the pay grade. Case: I recently started a font book, for the first time, the Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) after the upgrade. I was surprised to find 16 "duplicate font" warnings. They were not present when I was in the recent font Bonk Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5).
Now, as it appears, double fonts might not be much of a problem. In fact, if they are really exact copies of the same font, should have no problem at all--waste disk space than. If the problem can occur when you have duplicate font variations may have the same font, or font formats the designers. Even this is why you may want to keep both versions. (Read more in this respect, this how Extensis PDF).In particular, if you are working with documents, if minor differences in fonts may have a significant impact on the page layouts, you may need to clear duplicate one of a pair. in such cases, it is a good idea to disable unwanted duplicate.
I had in font book, if I probably never would have been discovered and of the duplicates as blissful ignorance of the mine.But now, I knew it, I felt obliged to deal with the matter.
After some testing, I got all the duplicates in a single source: one font of each was installed as part of Microsoft Office (and was located/Library/Fonts/Microsoft); the second had brought to install Snow Leopard and was/Library/Fonts folder. for this reason, the duplicate does not show up when was upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.
Non-Snow Leopard versions are newer and Apple, I decided to remove the Microsoft versions of fonts in any particular reason. This is a bit easier to say than done.
Font book join conflict duplicates command. Explains how to use it to all relevant fonts and disables any each pair of copies at a time. Unfortunately, this command will give any control whose font version is disabled. Font book shall itself determine.In my case font book chosen to remove Snow Leopard versions--my preference to opposite.
I tried some other font utility, FontDoctor.It was a similar problems. In fact, it alerted me more duplicates, you can check the FontDoctor Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts folder, which is not in the font book. I have decided to ignore them now. I had enough on my plate with Microsoft duplicates.
On the other hand, that continuation of the add-in for better search I more Blunt object attack tonne-km: the entire Microsoft folder is removed from the fonts folder.I was, of course, will be a number of unique fonts, as well as duplicates but had looked over the list and none of the fonts are not measured, that is used or required.Or so I thought naively.
It has become apparent that Microsoft uses some of these fonts, all by itself.I became aware of this in my next visit to the Microsoft Word Style menu.The names of Many styles was now unreadable string of symbols.This was due to the fact that the Word wanted to see it in the now missing font Eurostile. When it can not find a Eurostile, it changes the "Type ornaments one LET" instead.
So many Blunt object attack. I returned to the Microsoft folder in the fonts folder and renewed By the font information about the selected. Show Preview menu. After you select each of the same font, I check the location of the line to determine which version was the. If Microsoft version was I use (by using the delete command on the Edit menu). it was a little tedious, but so far it has worked without any negative side effects. Now duplicate the Adobe font info ...
