  • Font book collections backup

    Hi,
    I have several collections in Font Book, and I am in going to do a clean install of Lion, so I would like to backup my font collections, because I would like to have them organized. Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks,
    Adem

    Never mind found a solution in another thread
    4. Your Home > Library > FontCollections folder, which saves any font collections or libraries you've defined in Font Book.

  • Font Book - Collection List

    I was playing around with Font Book and happened to messed up the default fonts under each default collection. Anybody know what fonts are listed under the "PDF" and "Modern" collection?
    Thanks!

  • How to backup font book

    Is their a way to back up all my fonts that are in font book? Thanks for your help.

    Hi, k.
    There are many ways to set up fonts in Font Book, but, assuming you've not done anything exotic, the folders and files in question are:
    1. Macintosh HD > System > Library > Fonts folder (the /System/Library/Fonts directory).
    2. Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts folder (the /Library/Fonts directory).
    3. Your Home > Library > Fonts folder.
    4. Your Home > Library > FontCollections folder, which saves any font collections or libraries you've defined in Font Book.
    5. The Macintosh HD > System Folder > Library > Fonts folder for Classic (Mac OS 9) Fonts.
    6. The file com.apple.FontBook.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. This is Font Book's preferences for your account.
    Font book views the union of the fonts in folders 1 and 2 above as the Computer collection. Folder 3 is the User collection. Folder 5 is the Classic collection if you're running Mac OS 9 in Classic mode.
    Rather than merely backing up one's fonts and Font Book collections/libraries, I recommend you backup everything regularly using a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?

    How can I copy a Font Book library with "Collections" to my 2nd laptop?
    I have a number of fonts (approx. 500) on my work laptop which are sorted to different Collections. I'd like to have a copy of the Font Book library with Collections on the laptop I use at home to work. I'd think there was a more straight forward way to do it, but I haven't found any posts regarding the matter so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    To anyone who is reading this based on needing to copy their Font Book to another machine as I do, there is a way to make a copy of the fonts in Font Book by going to file/export fonts. Keep in mind that you will need to have all the fonts selected (command A) in your "All Fonts" list for them to be exported. You will then have a new folder saved to where ever you chose, with all your Font Book fonts in it.

  • Font Collections Disappear after the Font Book is closed (OS X 10.4.3)

    My font collections in Font Book 2 have been disappearing for awhile now and I can't seem to resolve this issue. So far I've reinstalled (archived) OS X 10.4.3, I've also tried throwing away the font book preferences (apple.com). I need help! I see that I'm not the only person who's having this problem. Is there something else I can do that doesn't involved reinstalling everything! Thanks Matt

    Hi cmatt.
    Make sure you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write of your Home > Library > FontCollections folder. Font collections and font libraries you create are saved in this folder. You should be the Owner of
    this folder and have Access of Read & Write on such.
    Likewise, be sure you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write of your Home > Library folder and your Home folder.
    You can check this using the Details subpanel of the Ownership & Permissions Panel of the Get Info window of those folders.
    Good luck!

  • Font book is frozen after trying to create a "smart collection"

    I am currently running OS X 10.9.4 on an iMac.  I have added quite a few fonts for use with graphic design and have not had any problems until today.  I tried to create a smart folder titled Scripts and I am now receiving the wheel of death.  I have searched through the forums and googled online.  My searches led me to restart the computer in safe mode.  I then restarted it normally.  That did not fix the problem.
    I am not an expert (at all!) and am completely flabergasted at the moment.  A lot of the sites recommended using the OS X install disk but I do not have one as this was a free update from the App store.
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

    Have you tried validating all your fonts, or at least the ones you want in your smart folder?
    To validate fonts in Font Book, select them in the main Font Book window (command + A will select them all), then choose "Validate fonts" from the File menu.

  • New fonts look fine in Font Book don't work in apps

    I need someone's help. I understand that to install new fonts I can either bring them into my font book (and chose whether they apply to a user or to the system) or can drag them directly into library/fonts or user/library/fonts. I am looking for some new foreign language fonts (e.g. hebrew - cursive, for example). I found some possibilities - ttf fonts - downloaded them, put them into my font book, they validated fine and within the font book they look right (i.e. as they are supposed to). I then quit the font book and go into my app, and it's not happening. When I go into MS word (2008), they don't all appear in the various menus (e.g. I made a font collection for one set, and only two appear in that collection), and when I go to use the ones that appear the font does not look much different from the latin alphabet font that was there before. So, I then tried Apple Mail and, while all the fonts appear in the font collection folder, when I choose any of them, same thing, my test letters are still in the same alphabet - size and intensity a little different, that's all.
    Someone told me that for MS Office that there is a separate folder somewhere for office fonts - is that true - where is that? Also, why aren't any of my fonts doing what they're supposed to do in a native Mac application, Apple Mail, despite the fact that they look as advertised in my font books?
    Frustrated & confused...

    my test letters are still in the same alphabet
    To generate non-Latin text in a modern OS you can't just change the font, you need to change the keyboard layout. Go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for Hebrew or whatever you want, plus the box for "show input menu in finder." Then select Hebrew in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder and type.
    You need to make sure you use Unicode fonts. Also MS Word does not yet support correct Hebrew, so use another app. For that script, Mellel is the best. See the applications section of this note:
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/TypingHebrew.html

  • The fontd process crashes every time I launch Font Book

    Crash report is below.  Looks like it's the com.apple.xtype.FontRegistry thread that's crashing.  I found a similar problem talked about for 10.5 that suggested installing the latest COMBO update.  How do you guys suggest I try to fix this with Lion?  Does this require that I reinstall my OS?
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated...

    The FontRegistry database is used by Font Book. It's probably corrupt. fontd's main purpose is to run when fonts are being activated, or deactivated. It appears to be crashing due to being unable to access the database.
    To clear Font Book's database:
    1) Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files for the user account you logged into in Safe Mode. In Leopard or earlier, any font sets you have created will be gone. Also, all fonts in the three main Fonts folders (System, Library, your user account) will now be active, regardless of their state beforehand.
    2) Clear all font cache files from the system and restart.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command (or copy/paste it from here):
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
    The next time you launch Font Book, it will create a new database.

  • Font Book won't remove font files

    I've been doing some testing with Font Book in hopes to replace Suitcase for font management. I've been testing on OS X 10.4.5 with Font Book 2.0.2.
    I have FB prefs setup with User as the default install location. Getting fonts installed works fine. To simplify for testing I'm just using one source folder with one family of fonts in it. So I drag the source folder into the FB window where I have created a collection called Temp.
    The font files are copied into ~/Library/Fonts, just as they should be, and are now available to the system. When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
    According to all documentation I've read, that is not the expected behavior. When Remove Fonts is used within FB, the font files should be moved to the trash.
    In addition, since the font files are being left in ~/Library/Fonts, if I try to add the same source folder back into FB, nothing happens, they just simply do not load. If I manually remove the lingering fonts from ~/Library/Fonts I am then able to add the source folder again.
    So it appears that FB is not functioning as advertised. I've confirmed this on two separate machines running 10.4.5 and also with one running 10.3.9.
    Any ideas what's up or am I missing something here?

    "When I select the font family in FB and choose Remove Font, it disappears from FB, however the font files remain in ~/Library/Fonts.
    Where are you selecting the font, from within the "All Fonts" collection, or within the "Temp" collection? If you've selected it from within your Temp collection, "Remove" only removes the font from the collection, not from your installed fonts. To remove the fonts from your installed fonts, you need to select them from within the All Fonts collection.
    I think what you might want to do rather than create a collection is to create an actual "Temporary" font library. In Font Book, select the All Fonts collection so that the focus is in the leftmost column and choose "New Library" from the action menu. Name it "Temporary" (or whatever else you'd like) and then hit enter. Notice it's listed above the dividing line which separates libraries on the top with collections on the bottom. Now, drag your folder of fonts from the Finder onto the "Temporary" library icon in Font Book. NOTE: A reference to the fonts will be added to Font Book; the fonts themselves are not copied but remain where they are in the Finder and are activated or deactivated from there. Now, whether you select the fonts from within the All Fonts library or the Temporary library, the "Remove" command will remove the fonts from Font Book. (Since the fonts remained in their original location, when they're removed from Font Book they're not moved to the Trash; rather, the reference to them is simply removed from Font Book).
    Hope this helps....

  • Fonts showing up in Font Book, but not in other apps

    This morning, while rummaging through Font Book for something new to use, I discovered that some of my (large) collection of fonts did not show up in various programs... meaning I never think of using them unless I'm actually rummaging through Font Book.
    I got onto the Apple support forums and looked at why this might be. I discovered that some of my fonts, for various reasons, were only in the "User" folder, while some that were listed in "All Fonts" were NOT showing up in the User folder. Cleaning this up seemed like a good place to start. I quit Font Book and all other programs, went to /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts, and moved all the fonts in the User folder into the All folder, as suggested on some answers here. (In addition I changed my Font Book prefs so that new additions in the future will not go to the User folder, but to the main folder and be usable to all.)
    Then, also following answers here,
    —I did a Safe Mode reboot
    —rebooted again out of Safe Mode
    —removed font cache files through Terminal
    —and finally checked Font Book.
    The screen shot above shows that all fonts are under "All Fonts" now, instead of some showing up only under All and some, oddly, only under User, as it was before I started the cleanup. Nice and neat. There is no User folder anymore, and I assume that is because it has no contents—User gets what All gets. Seemed like everything worked.
    So I opened one of the programs I use to take notes (Microsoft Entourage), just for a quick check...
    ... and discovered that some fonts which *have* always been usable, are now not showing up. (On the plus side, however, some of those fonts which had been hidden to me—ones that I discovered in my morning rummage—are showing up, so half of what I was aiming for is working.)
    I read a few more support forum posts, and saw that some folks have success when they remove the fontbook .plist. So I did this as well, and checked everything again.
    Font Book itself is still nice and neat, and appears to be complete, but Entourage and TextEdit, which I chose to be representatives of how this font cleanup is working in real programs, still do not show all my fonts. And stranger still, though most of their problems are the same, each of the programs also has different fonts which are or aren't showing up!! For instance: Aviano Slab, shown highlighted in the screenshot, isn't visible in either program, but Aviano Flare, right above it, is visible/usable in TextEdit but not visible/not usable in Entourage.
    Now, to be clear, as far as I know all of my typefaces are currently showing up in Font Book, and about 95% of my fonts are visible in both Entourage and Text Edit, even though the 5% that's problematic is partially the same/ partially different in each. I hope I'm not going to have to open every single program I own to keep checking for variations—hopefully knowing that there *are* variations between programs will help someone to give me a suggestion.
    If the 5% that don't work were the exact same, I was going to assume Mac voodoo. My lame workaround was going to be, to manually check my font folder against one program or the other, and copy every font that doesn't show up, back into the User folder. It would take quite a while, and there would be two copies, but at least the ones that are not visible to my programs would (hopefully?) be visible again.
    But the ones that don't show up and therefore can't be used are not all the same. So this indicates worse voodoo, some sort of font management issue that I don't get, and it probably means I'd be at this check-and-copy thing forever with each and every program I use. Or, I could waste a lot of disk space, and copy all fonts to User. Ugh.
    So I'm hoping that by laying out everything I *have* already tried this morning, someone will be able to spot a step I missed that will help me get Font Book to wrangle these darned typefaces better.
    If Font Book *thinks* all fonts are now available to all users, how can I get my programs to agree—and get my programs also to "see" and let me use all of my fonts?
    MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
    Font Book version 3

    Okay!
    So, should anyone else ever find themselves with this weird problem, here's what the rest of my day looked like—and yes, I did at last get the problems solved.
    First I printed out a list of all my fonts (in the /Library/Fonts folder). Very long. Then I skimmed through the two programs standing in, hopefully, for every program, to try and see if something the problem fonts have in common would jump out at me.
    One thing did: all of the "problem" fonts in TextEdit (the ones that didn't show up, in other words) were from a period when one of the type companies I use was automatically installing to a subfolder within the font folder (named with their company's name). Though TextEdit "sees" all the fonts in the Microsoft subfolder, apparently it can't handle other subfolders. So I removed all of these fonts from the company subfolder to the main /Fonts folder, and solved one problem. This problem, oddly, must have been there all along, but who uses a ton of fonts in TextEdit? So I didn't notice the problem until I was troubleshooting today, and thinking that was a nice neutral program to test things in.
    But it did nothing for the problem in Entourage, which is where I began my day—even though *some* of Entourage's problem fonts were also in that subfolder, most were not, and the ones that were in that subfolder were still not made visible to Entourage by moving them out of it. So then I scrubbed the long, long list of fonts, looking for all the ones that were not visible in Entourage. Blech. That took a while.
    When I got my complete list of missing fonts, I went back to Font Book and validated all of those fonts. I discovered that all but one, share one tiny problem: the "'name' table structure" error. (The final font did have a minor error in validation, but not that error.)
    Now I didn't make a list early this morning, so I can't be sure that every one of these fonts was among the ones that started my attempt to clean up and make things right, but I'm assuming they are. I suppose it's possible that during the things I tried to fix the mess today, that one or two fonts actually started working on their own, but probably this list would be the same as one I could have made in the morning, back when I was young and innocent and thought I wouldn't need lists because it was all going to work with ease.
    Before I got too excited, I then stopped and validated all the fonts I have. I wanted to make sure that this wasn't an error tons of fonts of mine have, in which case I had not located the problem. But in fact, only the typefaces I couldn't see in Entourage had this error. So I went back to the www to search for what to do about this error.
    And in case anyone else needs to replicate my success, this is the site with the fix that worked for me on it:
    http://www.iwebss.com/tech/540-fixing-fonts-with-validation-errors-on-mac
    Skip down to where it says "Quick Instructions." Download the program suggested there, and do *exactly* what it says under Quick Instructions and no more (and please, make a folder with copies of any otfs or ttfs you need to do this with before you try the fix, in case it doesn't work for you as it did for me and you need to back up to the old versions).
    One note: in those instructions, he doesn't mention that after "Save As," the program may hang up and give you a nasty message about access—just go to the Finder and do a Force Quit, no need to report, open the program again, and carry on. You haven't harmed the font or the program, and it does save before hanging up, so you can just go on to the next font in your list. For some miraculous reason, doing this does repair the "'name' table structure" error (and the error that the one odd font had as well!), and when I reopened Font Book, Entourage, and just for good measure, TextEdit, all of the fonts which had been plaguing me were perfectly visible and absolutely functional.
    Thank you, Kurt, for your good ideas here and elsewhere on these forums. You were of great help to me today even before your answered this question.   Though I was so deep in troubleshooting that I didn't get back to see your latest reply, I appreciate your taking the time to try to guess at this very odd hiccup.
    Why this error bothers some programs and not others... why it's so easy to fix, with a simple program that you purposely use to make absolutely no changes... who knows. But check your subfolders first, and if that's not the problem, try validating fonts and see if the "'name' table structure" error is at the root of your problems. Perhaps this will work for others.

  • Font Book stopped working as it should

    I recently upgraded hardware/software at the small newspaper I manage. We have 5 new Imac G5's running Leopard, CS3, MS office 2008 mainly. I have been testing fonts that we need for clients one at a time. If the font did not show up in the new collection I made for our paper, I removed it from my font folder in the user library on the hard drive and moved on to the next one.
    I had about 40 fonts to install which worked on 4 out of 5 of the computers. The font book on the 5th computer (mine) stopped accepting fonts, yet the font would appear in the list of fonts when I would open InDesign. No idea why this machine would act any different than the other 4 machines. I did not do a thorough test to see if they would print & PDF fine without showing up in Font Book. I was hesitant to continue.
    Most fonts were true type and worked/imported great in the other 4 machines. Anyone have any suggestions/Ideas? Thank you.

    I'm not much help, unless you remove "com.apple.FontBook.plist" from your User/Preference folder, and restart. Even borrowing this file from one of the other computers might help, if all fonts are kept in parallel locations on the 5 machines.
    As another suggestion, how would you like a free manager that let's you keep fonts where ever you like, and lets you load them as you like? It also has free on the fly plugins for Adobe applications, including InDesign, and Illustrator.
    Linotype's FontExlorerX is a nice tool for font management.

  • Lion Font Book problem with Adobe FontFolio 11

    I have a fresh install of Lion. My problem is with FontFolio 11. It installs well, finds duplicates etc. The problem happens only after i deactivate all of the fontfolio fonts. After they have all be deactivated, if I click on any other font collection, fontd jumps up to 99% CPU usage and Font Book not responding. After 5 minutes of this Font Book's Real Mem usage slowly starts to increase, sometimes up to 3 gigs. Eventually, I am able to click through collection with no delay, however, after a system restart or just a Font Book restart, the process starts over and i have to wait.
    I have tried:
    Clearing every font cache file I can think of.
    Using Font Finagler to clear font caches.
    Restarting in safe mode.
    Creating a new user.
    Nothing has made this problem go away.
    So, what exactly is happening? Why is Font Book fast and responsive with my 427 fontfolio fonts active, but when i deactivate them it slows to a crawl and goes through the same CPU/memory cycle every time? I have research and experimented for a solid week. I can't waste any more time on this. I'm this close to giving LION and Font Book the big thumbs down and buying something that actually works.
    I never had a problem with snow leopard using Font Book and the same version font folio.

    Same here. My thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15995212#15995212
    I've had no replies. Have you looked at Activity Monitor while this is happening? check it out. I think i'm just going to go back to Leopard, don't know what else to do. Do you have an SSD in there?

  • Missing fonts in font book

    Are you sure that in the Collection column at the left you have All Fonts selected?

  • InDesign CS5.5 doesn't show the fonts in Font Book

    I recently upgraded to CS5.5 Premium at the same time as I upgraded to OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
    While I am asking this question about InDesign, all programs in the package (Illustrator, etc.) seem to have the same problem:
    They don't recognise the fonts I have already installed in Font Book – TT, OT, or whatever type.
    Has anyone else come across this issue?
    In InDesign the only way round it seems to be to add the fonts I need to InDesign's fonts folder. But that doesn't change anything for Illustrator.
    I hope someone can help.

    You don't really install fonts IN Font Book. You just use Font Book to place new fonts in one of two locations on your Mac. If you look at Collections in the upper left corner of the Font Book screen you should see one called User and one called Computer. These are really just references to:
    Users > [yourname] > Library > Fonts
    and
    [computername] > Library > Fonts
    Look in those two folders and see if the fonts are there.
    All applications on your computer should show those fonts in their font menus. Do the fonts show up in other applications like TextEdit or Word?
    BTW, there is the possibility you could have had problems with your 10.6.8 install. You might try running the 10.6.8 Update Combo as described in this article:
