Does Font Book or other font management come with OS 10.9?

I have been using Suitcase Fusion and it takes forever to activate fonts, it is old and I'm reluctant to purchase the newer version especially if I'm supposed to get Font Book free with 10.9.
Can I have thought on recommendations?

You should have it on one of the discs that came with your computer. I don't know if it's the same disc as the Mac OS X itself, or if it is on another disc.
You may (if you wish) also need to download a program called Pacifist, from here

Help: Every time I do something in Font Book, default browser fonts get messed up

Every time I change anything in Font Book (enable, disable fonts for example) all my international default fonts in FireFox and in Safari get so messed up, that it's hard to read sometimes. The default fonts suddenly become substituted by other fonts. I tried completely reinstalling the system fonts folder (fetched it from MAC OSX installation CD) but no result. I tried disabling all the custom fonts, and then enabling again the ones I need - didn't help.
Every time this happens, I need to restart my Mac in Safe Mode, and restart again, so that it deletes it's font cache. Then all is Ok, until the next time I do anything in Font book.
This is really annoying, please help!
Thanks

I'd suspect maybe RAM then.
Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT.
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

Font Book: Installed postscript Fonts don't always appear in Font Book list

Greetings,
I was helping a user the other day with Font Book. I was showing him how to add/enable fonts into Font Book when I noticed a problem I had never seen before. Before I get started, the fonts in question are from the Adobe 7 Font Folio library. There were newly installed by me from the original disk, and known not to be corrupt. I also know that that Postscript fonts are an accepted font format in Tiger.
That said, when adding.installing a particular font using Font Book, it would not "Appear" in the Font Book" list of fonts. I would attemp to, again add/enable the font (by selecting it from the Adobe Library) and still it would not appear in the Font Book list with the other installed fonts. This would happen to any font that I tried to install. Once this happenend to a specific font, I could no longer get that specific font to install.
I removed the Font Book .plist - no luck. I also rebooted - no luck.
Obviously, no application was able to recognize any of the fonts that would not install.
It was as if Font Book would not recognize any font that I was trying to add/enable.
Could this be a corrupted cache issue, or .plist problem? Could this be a permissions related issue? What did work finally was to add the font to the "Computer" set, where it would be avaialbe to all users. But I could not get the font to install into the "User" set. Weird.
Also, What is the significance of these four fonts:
HelveLTMM
Helvetica LT MM
Times LT MM
TimesLTMM
These fonts above are part of the default package that is loaded into the /System/Library/Fonts
Is it safe to replace these with Postscript version from my Adobe 7 Font Folio collection?
I have read most of the font related tutorials and articals.
thanks,

where did
you get the information about pre-92 Adobe postscript
fonts being uncompatible?
Oh, sure, it's hard enough for me to remember things these days and now you want me to remember where I learned them from?? geez... [gone lookin' ... okay, back] It was, as I vaguely recalled, on the Adobe site, re troubleshooting in OS X, in a list of "do this to solve your problems": "Make sure that you are using the latest version of the font... If the font's creation date is prior to 1992, a new version of the font may be available." The only Type 1's that have given me any problems were, all three of them, older than 92, and in troubleshooting something here a few weeks ago, that turned out to be a problem for someone else, too.
But all of the Tiger font
research that I have done suggests that Adobe
Postscript fonts were acceptable.
Yes, well... Type 1's are supported. It seems that some older ones are a little funky (not in a design sense....)
Ideally, what fonts can be removed from Tiger from
the System/Libray/Fonts folder? I know that all four
of the MM's (Helvetica LTand Times LT), Lucida
Grande, Geneva, Keyboard, Last Resort, and Monoco
must stay, but what about the others?
You also need a real Helvetica - that is, not the MM version. You can replace the system's Helvetica with one of your own, but there must be an available Helvetica around at all times.
Then there's AquaKana (two of them, regular and bold). They're not on Apple's official "do not remove" list, but there's some anecdotal evidence of its being needed. It's "real" name begins with a period, so it doesn't appear in any menu, so it's not going to hurt anything if you leave it there.
In stripping down nonessential fonts, lots of people just remove everything from the Library/Fonts folder, but I think it's good to leave the basic most common web fonts available: Comic Sans, Georgia, Trebuchet, Verdana, Times New Roman. This keeps web pages looking the way they're supposed to - and they shouldn't conflict with anything that's being really designed!
This is assuming that the fonts
being used are not damaged and "Pass" Font Book's
validation test.
The assumption within that assumption is false: Font Book's validation is pretty iffy. I think the only reason we don't see it as REALLY iffy is because fonts, on the whole, are pretty solid in OS X (your current experience to the contrary). I've installed fonts (properly) that flew through the automatic-on-install validation but failed when I used the Validate Font command afterwards. I've had fonts that pass both the on-install and specific after-install validation but get a Bad Font warning dialog when being re-enabled after a disabling. (And I didn't use the font in between... ) Who knew Font Book did any validating when you re-enable fonts??
This is what I would do:
(Not necessarily in this order)
1. Trash Font Book .plist
2. Trash all Font Cache's from all three libraries
(System, Computer, and User folders)
3. Reboot
4. Delete problem fonts from User and Computer
Libraries and reinstall using Font Book.
Please tell me if this strategy is ill-advised, and
what the better course of action might be.
None of it is ill-advised. I would add starting up in Safe Mode to see if the problems exist there as part of the narrow-down-the-problem stage. Same goes for setting up a separate user account and see how things are behaving there. (Yikes... did you try that yet??)
In addition, there are some special things to do when it's Office apps having the problem, or something going on with Adobe's application fonts folder...
Also, Zaph Dingbats is acting up as well. I removed
the .dfont version that was in the system folder, and
replaced it with the Adobe Font Folio Postscript
version (ITC Zaph Dingbats) that I loaded into Font
Book User/Library/Fonts folder. Now that I think
about it, that specific font has been around for
along time, and may very well be pre-1992. Hmmm...
Can you further define "acting up" ? In addition to the ZD dfont from the system, I've been using/testing ITC ZD from Adobe with no problems. It's version 2.0 with copyright dates of 1985 through 1987.
A lot to respond to. My apologies.
No problem. You caught me on a night when I'm too tired for real work but not so far gone I can't do this (tho I'm soon on my way, bleary-eyed, to get a fix of Sudoku puzzles).

Does the envy 6z-1000 come with the 32 gb ssd cache that other envy models come with?

i ordered an envy 6z-1000 and i was wondering if it has the ssd cache that other sleekbook models come with.

Hi,
See this: http://www.pcworld.com/article/261020/hp_envy_sleekbook_6z1000_review_lustworthy_looks_soso_performa...
I don't think that there is an SSD cache. However, you should be able to swap the hdd for a proper solid state drive.

Does any body know if all itouches come with a warrenty?

so my itouch is cracked bad. does anybody know if all ipod touches come with a warrenty and if apple replaces ipods for free under warrenty?

When you purchase an iPod, it comes with a 1 year warranty with 90 days of phone support and an option to buy AppleCare to extend another year (total 2 years) after purchase. Unfortunately Apple does not replace because of accidents, spills, modifications, etc.:

Look under "What types of damages are not covered by my warranty.

Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

Installed fonts not showing up in Font Book or other apps

I am having an issue where fonts will install, but not show up in Font Book.
I go into Font Book, go to File > Add Fonts..., navigate to a font file and click Open, the validating and installing windows will flash by, but the font will not appear in the list of All Fonts. The file will show up in ~/Library/Fonts/, but not in Font Book or any other apps.
Any clues as to what the issue is and how to fix it?
Thanks!

I had thought of that, but they literally are nowhere to be found in the All Fonts list. I've looked through the entire list, as well as searching for the font, but nothing.
The Windows font was a font was a completely separate family not found on my Mac at all.
I tried installing different set of fonts (ran them through the Validator and then clicking install when they all checked out), and got the following in the console:

And again, same behavior. Goes into ~/Library/Fonts, but nothing else.

Font Book "finds 80 minor problems proceed with caution"

Just happened to discover this. When I select All Fonts and then validate it comes back and says that there are 80 minor problems proceed with caution. What does this mean? I don't think I have been having any problems. It appears that when you look at one of the fonts that have a problem there actually two of them listed. It tried to resolve duplicates and it makes no difference.

I wouldn't trust them if Font Book doesn't like them, bad fonts can really mess up OSX itself.

Font book in Mavericks: font repertoire blank

I'm using German as system language with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, but with this language set, I don't get a "Repertoire" font preview (cmd+2) of any font in Font Book ("Schriftsammlung"). Does anyone know how I can get the Repertoire-preview in Font Book without switching the system language from German to English? TIA!

A very stupid bug. All you can do is report this to Apple via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
I think a possible alternative app is Ultra Character Map

Font Book Wont add fonts

I run Leopard (10.5.1) and font book will not add ant fonts. Does anyone have any idea why this is so?

Font Book is showing fonts in non-english characters

Been installing my old fonts and the like to Font Book on Mountain Lion but I seem to be running into a small issue as I install.
Besides the fact that I'm getting the 'A-image' for some of the fonts, a fair few of the fonts themselves also seem to be showing up in what looks to be some sort of alternate language?
I uploaded a few examples here as well to help explain the problem I'm running into.
This is actually a fairly new computer, only a few days old, so there's hasn't been a lot that I've done that I could assume would be doing this.
Any help or suggestions would be great, thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

The first and third fonts are showing their Hebrew characters as a sample, the second one is showing its Thai characters. The 4th one is showing a character from the Apple Last Resort Font, which indicates a problem accessing the proper character.
I don't know why Fontbook does this, but I haven't seen any reports so far that it affects the usability of the fonts in question in any way. Does it for you?
