Bad font detected

After installing updates about a week ago on my Leopard system, font book give "Bad Font Detected" error message while booting and deactivates many of my fonts.
I have to go back in and manually activate them using my font management software. After the fonts are activated everything works fine. Can I turn font book off so it doesn't do this?

You do not want to disregard an error message. You need to fix the actual core issue.
Have you recently run disk utility and repaired permissions? This would be step 1.
Then I would check for any 3rd party fonts that are not fully Leopard compatible.
Then I would check the console logs for the reasons for the problem.

Bad Font Detected pop up

Hey newb here, I am attempting to install Leopard on a g4 powerbook and after install worked its mojo a Bad Font Detected pop up keeps coming up and it doesnt want to get past this point.
Any help out?
THx

So I booted into safe mode and removed the font from System/Library/Fonts but the error still appears with the same font, is there somewhere else or hidden font files or something?

How can I fix Bad Font Detected dialog box

Hi, I Installed some font books a few months ago then change hard drives, so I moved some of the fonts to the new HDD. After that I started getting this annoying error boxes with this information:
http://www.redgizmo.net/errors/BadFontError.png
This errors (with different fonts) appear some times when I open Illustrator, photoshop, InDesign or some times when I open Safari. I can't find the error path on my computer and I don't know how to get rid of those. Please help.
Someone know how can get rid of the errors?
Thank you

Hello pv:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I suggest you run fontbook (located in your application folder). That should tell you which fonts are corrupted/problematic.

EtreCheck saying Bad Fonts?

My mac has been running slow lately. Just ran EtreCheck and it's saying I have bad fonts? Does anyone know why or how to fix this?
Thank you so much!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Font book - window pop up that says bad font

So I got my mac back after the harddrive was erased so it was brand new. I uploaded a bunch of fonts from before and I was trying to install them all. Then my computer got slower and when I would start my mac a window would pop up saying BAD FONT so I would go to the direct place and erase the font.
Is there a way to restart font book to its old settings before installing font?
or know how to find all bad fonts?
I validated the file from library-fonts and my font folder i brought in and erased the ones that had a x saying error but I still get the window.
and what is the normal amount of fonts we can have active.
also when I click on disable I don't see a difference.
I just erased the font folder I had brought in and there is no different in the amount of fonts in font book.
sorry for the questions, hope I make sense.
thanks
I had posted this in macbook pro but cmcsk told me about posting here in hopes that I could get more help.

Here's a great article for you . . .
It's a little long, but the most important stuff about the fonts you need
is in the first 25% of the article. The article, by Kurt Lang, will tell you which fonts you really need, etc.
http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
The only thing still giving me pause, is you statement that you're clicking on the "Mac HD
from the computer." If you are seeing the icon the Mac, and the word "computer" totally
within the Font Book pane, then that's fine to delete fonts marked with a warning.
Just make sure you read the beginning of the article first, OK?

The Bad Font thread...

Hi guys,
I just went through more than a thousand fonts, just to find that one that was messing up my browser.
Guilty font: "Mark"
I deactivated it and now everythings cool again.
I searched this forum at first but found that several users had problems with different fonts. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to group all "bad fonts" together in one thread. This could all spare us some valuable time. Post as you wish...
Greetz!

a THOUSAND thank you's...
thanks for the tip. My bad font was Arial. Seems strange since it's a common font, but deactivating it did the trick. It was so frustrating for weeks because I couldn't read basic text on some sites, but never had time to research the problem...
This is my first time exploring this forum, and it seems pretty helpful! Although Safari sounds like a nightmarish program for a lot of people. Other than this issue, mine works great - knock on wood!
So, thanks!

[SOLVED] Qt 4.7 - 4.8 and bad fonts hinting.

Hi, since the upgrade to qt 4.8, font rendering of qt applications seems very bad to me.
Before the upgrade, firefox and konqueror looked the same, here is now,
I tried in graphicssystem native and raster:

http://ompldr.org/vYnZ2Ng/konqueror_native2.png
I tried autohinter too, but gtk apps (cairo) seems always better, what happened?
My .fonts.conf:

I casually managed to solve this issue by playing with fontconfig settings.
I'm really not sure if this is the correct way, but now i've the same font rendering i've had before qt 4.8 with hintstyle=hintslight.
My Steps are:
yaourt -S freetype2-infinality
* do not install fontconfig-infinality
edit ~/.fonts.conf as follows
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba">
<const>rgb</const>
</edit>

<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle">
<const>hintfull</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter">
<const>lcddefault</const>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
the trick seems:hinting+autohint+hintfull=hintslight (!?)
edit /etc/profile.d/infinality-settings.sh and add/replace with those values:
SET_XFT_SETTINGS=true
XFT_SETTINGS="
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.autohint: 1
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOFIT_FORCE_SLIGHT_HINTING=true
export INFINALITY_FT_FILTER_PARAMS="06 25 44 25 06"
export INFINALITY_FT_GRAYSCALE_FILTER_STRENGTH=0
export INFINALITY_FT_GAMMA_CORRECTION="0 100"
export INFINALITY_FT_BRIGHTNESS="0"
export INFINALITY_FT_CONTRAST="0"
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_INCREASE_GLYPH_HEIGHTS=false
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_HORIZONTAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH=0
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_VERTICAL_STEM_DARKEN_STRENGTH=0
export INFINALITY_FT_AUTOHINT_SNAP_STEM_HEIGHT=0
export INFINALITY_FT_FRINGE_FILTER_STRENGTH=0
export INFINALITY_FT_WINDOWS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH=0
export INFINALITY_FT_CHROMEOS_STYLE_SHARPENING_STRENGTH=0
export INFINALITY_FT_STEM_ALIGNMENT_STRENGTH=0

export INFINALITY_FT_GLOBAL_EMBOLDEN_X_VALUE=0
export INFINALITY_FT_GLOBAL_EMBOLDEN_Y_VALUE=0
export INFINALITY_FT_BOLD_EMBOLDEN_X_VALUE=0
export INFINALITY_FT_BOLD_EMBOLDEN_Y_VALUE=0
Now logout/login.
Starting from there, you can further tweak infinality
Ah, openoffice also looks good out of the box, no need to install extra '*uglyfix*' packages
...and chromium still sucks like nothing happened.
-EDIT-
Remember to not change the hintstyle, leave it to hintfull.

Bad Font-Measuring Performance under Windows 8.1

Why does the following little loop (in c#) perform so bad using current version of WPF (.NET 4.5.2) if i change the font-family from "Segoe UI" to "Arial" (or something else...tried "Times New Roman" and "Courier New"
- Same problem)?
var tb = new TextBlock {Text = "Testtext", FontFamily = new FontFamily("Arial")};
for(int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
tb.InvalidateMeasure();
tb.Measure(new Size(double.MaxValue, double.MaxValue));
With font-family set to Arial this block of code takes about 7.6s on my machine. Font-family set to "Segoe UI" takes about 1.9s. Why do (most) other fonts than Segoe UI perform so bad during measurement? Is there any tweak around, that does avoid
this enormous loss in performance?
As i found found out, "Tahoma", "Lucida Sans" and "Microsoft Sans Serif" are being measured really fast, also. Is this some "System-internal font"-thing?
Yes, i know, this is really constructed and broken down to a minimal reproducable example. The whole component is a custom datagrid with complex ui- and data-virtualization - much too big to post here. If i set the font of my
grid to, let's say "Arial", the scrolling-performance gets really bad. Using Visual Studio's Profiler i tracked the problem down to the measurement of my single grid-cells, which basically measure single textblocks and so i wrote the little test-code
above. Please keep in mind: My problem is NOT, that the code above is slow. (I know, this loop is totally senseless...it's for demonstration purposes only) My problem IS, that changing the font impacts measurement in such an enormous amount...
What is the difference between fonts like "Segoe UI", "Tahoma", "Lucida Sans" or "Microsoft Sans Serif" and fonts like "Arial", "Times New Roman" or "Courier New" that causes this huge
impact in measurement?
Btw.: This problem not only arises within my own grid component, it can also be reproduced with WPF's internal datagrid. Scrolling performance degrades dramatically when using "Arial" as the font-family.

Hi Max
I realise that WPF doesn't use Win32, but I suspected something similar (i.e. the font is being loaded and unloaded everytime a measure takes place rather than using a cached font). I just looked up TextBlock in ILSpy and can see a MeasureOverride method
which does quite a lot of work with the font before using it to measure text and then discards all of this information when it's finished. That's obviously where the bottleneck is. I don't program in WPF so I have no idea how to fix it.
protected sealed override Size MeasureOverride(Size constraint)
this.VerifyReentrancy();
this._textBlockCache = null;
this.EnsureTextBlockCache();
Follow the path of EnsureTextBlockCache() to see how much information is being processed and then dumped every time a measure operation is processed.

Safari displaying unusual characters bad font?

Network accounts (networked home folders) are not properly displaying text in Safari browser. This is a new build and I did install new fonts, run font book and validation and resolve duplicates from the admin (local) account. And admin works fine. I even used cocktail to wipe the font caches before I created my disk image.
I've logged in with a network account and ran cocktail and font nuke and font book, nothing resolves the font issue. It is something else??
Have a look at the problem...
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Singles --
This is from Kurt Lang, our resident Font Guru:
A’s with boxes around them is always a sign of trouble with the main system
font, Lucida Grande.
Quick possible fix is to remove ALL font cache files from the system to see
if it's just bad cache data. For that, you need to use OnyX or other utility
which will remove both system and user cache files. A Safe Mode boot won't
work since it only removes cache data from the user account you do a safe
boot to.
If after that the problem returns, then Lucida Grande itself is damaged and
needs to be replaced.

I installed Safari 7.1. Now YouTube videos have a bad font for all the interface text that is part of the video embed.

Since installing Safari 7.1, all the text in YouTube videos (title, resolution, etc.) is all little font error boxes and therefore completely unreadable. Nothing else is having this problem, just the text that is in the embedded videos themselves.
Any suggestions?

What I did (in this order) was, set YouTube to HTML 5, bring Flash up to date, fontrestore, clean font cache with Fusion, reboot.
So far it has now remained fixed for me. I have Mavericks and it is up to date.
by ‘fontrestore’ I mean
sudo fontrestore default
in terminal as described on http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/113107/how-to-restore-default-fonts-on- mavericks
fontrestore removed some of my fonts from my System and Library, but I moved them all back in on the theory that I might want to add fonts, but was not looking to remove them.
I don’t know which of these steps solved the problem. All I know is what I did and what the result was for me. As always, use ‘sudo’ at your own risk.

Safari 3 Update Leads to Tears and Bad Font

what a day.
so i've updated my mac os x version 10.4.11, which included the new safari 3 update.
until i decided to do this, i would use safari and safari only because firefox and netscape had very hard to read fonts in them (also Very slow!!-on this machine), of which i've found you cannot change through preferences. well, the update to safari also changed its fonts to match the ones in firefox and netscape. it hurts my eyes/head to read and is extremely annoying. i decided to throw away safari, in hopes of downloading the old one, only to find that this isn't possible after you've completed the 10.4.11 update (see this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1241335&tstart=0 ).
sounds like it's going to be a matter of finding my disc before i can have safari again (i'm in the process of moving to a new home). although, i imagine that even after reloading safari i will still have this font issue. any ideas to why all my browsers have the same messed up font? it's almost like there is a gap within each individual letter. see here: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee41/Lulu_Lagoon/Picture8.png
my @ symbols do not show up in this font either.

Stuck with a bad font in Safari

Safari used to have an option in an appearance setting to select a default font for webpages, and back in high school, I made it something dumb and illegible. It's still set to that same font through transferring my data from one computer to the next, but now the option to change it back is gone. I can't install an older version of Safari to change it, am I stuck with it? My MacBook Pro is completely up to date with all upgrades.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Mavericks / safari bad FONT SMOOTHING

Hi,
The option to disable font smoothing in OSX for small characters size (< 9 ) is not listed anymore in the General preferences panel of mavericks. Safari 7 with smoothing on small fonts is very hard to read on external monitors. Is there a hidden option to restore this VERY USEFUL function.
Thanks.

I couldn't find any info on this either.
The only way to fix this might be hidden in their stores. It's hidden under the RETINA name

BADI: ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST Detecting a Deleted Line Item?

I have implemented this BADI for mapping and for defaulting GL Account Numbers that we read in a custom ZMAPPING_Table. All of my gl account mapping logic is in the 'PROCESS_ACCOUNT' method in this BADI. Just an FYI, there is some code in the 'PROCESS_ITEM' method in this BADI, for another process, as well.
It is important that I keep track of the line items and their related GL Account Numbers, Material Groups, and all other line item data entered data during the create and change of a Purchase Requisition in a global internal table during runtime. It is working well.
The issue is that I need to identify when a line item is being deleted in the P.R. during runtime Then, I can delete the entry in the internal table as well. When I delete a line item in the P.R. the logic always seems to break in the 'PROCESS_ITEM' method, and never the 'PROCESS_ACCOUNT' method.
Is there a delete line item indicator, variable, flag, or field, that I can check during runtime in the 'PROCESS_ITEM' method in my ABAP code to see if a line item is in the process of being deleted in the P.R.? it would probably be easiest to validate this in the 'PROCESS_ITEM' method during runtime since we have some code in this method, and it always enters that logic when a line item is deleted. Below are the objects that are being read. If someone has the answer, I'd sure be happy to get the OO code for it as well, since I am still getting my feet wet with OO.
Thank-You, Tom M.

You can check the value of the field LOEKZ of the PR item MEREQ_ITEM.
DATA: ls_mereqitem   TYPE mereq_item.
ls_mereqitem   = im_item->get_data( ).
if ls_mereqitem-LOKEZ = 'X'. " Item deleted
endif.
