Intel Mac :: System Fonts Won't Work

Jun 26, 2012

I have a set of fonts that I need to use for a client's logo design.  When I switched over from my MBP to this newer iMac, not all of the fonts in the font book are working. I've  gone to several tech blogs and inquired about the issue and have gotten good advice but none seems to be the answer to my dilemma.  In the FontBook, I can see the following: 

New Peninim
Ariel Hebrew
Corsiva Hebrew
Raanana
Israel 

But, when I try to engage them in either Photoshop or Illustrator,  nothing but blank boxes seems to come up.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), OSX 6.8/ system fonts-- decorative/

Intel Mac :: How To Restore Missing System Fonts

May 22, 2012

I recently installed a couple font management tools and ever since I have noticed that I don't have the full list of default system fonts. Below is a screenshot of what I have. I notice that there are a lot of missing fonts that should be there such as Georgia, Trebuchet, Verdana and many more. Is there a way to reinstall them or restore them? I tried the restore Standard Fonts option in Font Book but says no problems encountered. I also downloaded a program called Pacifist but don't know what to do next.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

OS9/OS8/System 7 :: Collection Of Fonts Crashes System When Opened In Finder?

May 21, 2012

I have an extensive collection of fonts (60,0000+). Several hundred of them will crash my system when I open one of them in Finder (double-click the suitcase). I picked one at random for some serious examination. I looked at my sample with many font tools. My latest tool was FontDoctor (v5 and v7). FontDoctor reported "no problems found" with my font. Yet the crash persists. Any tool that can do a thorough job of investigating and repairing my corrupt fonts.

I installed a load of new fonts, but unfortunately a lot of them were corrupt, so I had loads of crashes and hangs.I used Font Book to validate all my fonts, but when I clicked the remove button FB always crashed (due to a corrupt font, no doubt...).I tried FontDoctor, which claimed to have sorted out all my problems, but although things had improved FB still reported over 2,000 minor errors.

Software :: Fonts In 10.3.9 Don't Work On OS 10.4?

Nov 9, 2009

I created, in Mac OS 10.3.9, a series of thousands of templates I use in my business, with fonts I have gleaned from many sources over the yrs. It amounts to hundreds & hundreds of hours expended on my part to create these templates, which are invaluable to me. When I tried to transfer these fonts to 10.4.11. by using a test template on my newest iMac, I was told, in a window, they were not usuable. The written part of the templates, using fonts I have used for yrs., reverted to the default font Helvetica.

I have a current support contract W/Apple. When I called the tech people @ Mac they were unable to help my in any way. I also searched the net & found other people @ chat sites W/the same problem but no help. Then I found your site by accident when I was downloading SuperDuper. Can something like TTConverter solve my problem? Or is it only for the interface between classic or windows fonts (which none of these are but @ one time some of them were used in Classic, but later trasferred O.K. to 10.3.9. Or do U have an idea??I am going crazy W/this. I need to upgrade my older iMac. If I do it wipes out all the fonts I have used since OS 7. It would be too much work to redo them all over in fonts that 10.4 W/accept.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Can't Get Certain Truetype Fonts To Work

May 22, 2012

The Fonts I'm attempting to use were downladed from a reputable website I have done business with for years.  Never had any problems using their stuff before on any platform: PC/Windows, Mac, Linux, or Free BSD.  The Fonts are activated, but when I Validate them in Font Book I get the Message: 'Name' Table Structure [With a Yellow ( ! ) next to it].  What does this mean?  How do I fix it?  I can see the Fonts in Font Book, I can open them, Preview them, but I cannot use them in ANY application!  They refuse to show up in the font list for Word, Pages, and even Gimp!    I see other people having similar problems, but not exactly like the one I am having.  I have tried all the propper proceedures and nothing has worked so far.

Software :: Missing System Fonts - How To Restore Them

Feb 16, 2007

A couple of weeks ago I had a mess by copying fonts on /Mac HD/Library/Fonts. I Used Lynotype Font explorer to "Clean" my system folder. The problem that I have found is that it has erased (or I Have Erased) some of the files thst should be on this library/fonts folder.

Now Im getting a lot of Not found files. Doing a Spotlight search I connot find the files in My HD. Checking one by one from a list published by someone in this place I have manged to identify at least 15 without even getting to the letter D.

The question is... Is there a way to "Reintall" this fonts from the DVD's without having to reintall my whole operating system?

Trouble with fonts from the "Get Go". Now fonts are disappearing in my Adobe CS5 font lists while I'm working. Noticed in my System Fonts folder some fonts I had not noticed before.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Uninstall The Last System Update To Fonts?

May 17, 2012

how do i uninstall the last system update? 

It altered my helvetica font in a way that will cost me hundreds of hours re-kerning / resizing / repositioning text in  CAD files for at least 10 large scale projects in progress at my architecture office.

This is an extremely serious & very expensive issue that has to be affecting all architecture firms who use macs the same way as it's affecting me & my business.

OS X Mountain Lion :: Can't Find System Fonts On HD

Jun 26, 2014

In My Suitcase 5, I can see a list of OSX System Fonts > Local, (such as Calibri, Calisto MT, etc.). I realized I cannot locate these fonts anywhere on the HD. I see them in Suitcase and they load, but the physical files are nowhere to be found. I did a search in Finder for Calibri — nothing, like it doesn't exist. I went to all 3 common system fonts folders — nothing. I went to Users / Library/ Fonts — nothing. 

Where are these fonts, really?

OS X :: Dock Icons Missing - System Fonts Changed

Jan 3, 2011

All of a sudden I restarted my computer and the dock didn't show up and the fonts for the clock and battery were different. The widgets also would not show up. Also missing was some of the icons for random programs (applications, illustrator, pictures etc.) I am thinking I might have deleted some of the systems files? In safe mode the dock and widgets work and the fonts are correct however the icons are still missing.

I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS10.9.x and in an attempt to troubleshoot another issue I moved all the system fonts into a folder on the desktop.

Apr 7, 2009

is anyone experiencing issues with Tinker Tool?

I am on a Unibody with 10.5.6. and I would need to change the font sizes for my gf as they are causing her a terrible eyestrain.

I just discovered Tinker Tool and wanted to test the font size functions, but everytime i change them and I want to preview the size, it is saying that I would need to relaunch it in order to be able to preview - I do that, nothing happens - fonts change back to default.

Intel Mac :: Restore Fonts In Library?

May 17, 2012

When I download a font, I drag & drop it in to Macintosh HD - Library - Fonts. I basically want to restore the fonts in this folder to the ones that came with my Mac, so I can start from scratch, and catalogue where I get fonts from, make sure they're from a reputable source etc.  So how do I do this? I thought I could restore from Time Machine, but I can't, as I imported everything across from my old iBook & the fonts were messy on there too.  I tried logging in as Admin rather than my user, but they're not "original" there either.  I also wondered if I could do it from the original install disk, but it looks like I'd have to reinstall the whole system, which I don't want to do! I could manually delete the ones that shouldn't be there if anyone has a list of the originals..?

Intel Mac :: Screen And Printer Fonts Not Registering (Extensions Lost)

May 18, 2012

I have been sent a zip folder containing a whole suitcase of fonts, with what appears to be screen and printer fonts. However when I open the zip folder all fonts are losing their extensions and so are not registering as fonts. I have two files within the folder which say the extensions are ".suit" but the rest are showing the "unix executable file" symbol. Not all of the "unix" type files are the same kind of file as (for example) one says Omnes Black and one says OmnesBla, so I would guess these were both the printer font AND the screen fonts corrupted to another format. Our client keeps resupplying the zip file and I always get the same result. The zip file is being created on a Mac, but I have now tried unzipping it on OS9, OS 10.3.9, OS 10.6.8, OS 10.5.8 and a PC, each time the fonts are not registering as proper font files and so are unreadable.

OS X :: Old Mac Documents And System Software Work With New System

Dec 11, 2009

I have a g5 with sys 10.5.8 , that I just bought and old mac documents from 10 years ago.

For some reason it will not read them. How does one get old documents translated into something usable.

Secondly, the old system software and applications no longer seem to work with the new machine, is there a way to use those. The mac was always great about being able to use several system folders and their applications.

Recently viewed this Apple web page. In Addition to my G5, I have a G3 running 9.2.2. Is there any point in moving later versions of the named files listed in the Apple web page into the System Folder of the G3, or is that just asking for trouble? Improved performance of 9.2.2, or disaster?
