Font book disabling fonts

I'm running Mavericks 10.9.2 and my Font Book application seems to randomly disable fonts. When I open the application to enable certain fonts, it disables them again anywhere from 5 minutes to a week later.
There is no preference to keep all fonts enabled. Any suggestions? As a graphic designer, this is incredibly frustrating beacuse I need access to my font collection every single day!

I have the same problem, Arial font is the one that affects me the most because it's used by a lot of websites. when arial is disabled in font book those websites look weird using other fonts.
I'm also a graphic designer and I use Suitcase for my font management, I don't know if they might have compatibility issues thats causing the problem.
Have you solved this?

Font Book disables fonts every time I restart my computer

First, some info on my computer:
- OS X 10.9.3
- Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 version 7.5
- Office 2011 14.4.3
- Suitcase Fusion 5 16.2.0
As a graphic designer, I've accumulated thousands of fonts. In an attempt to clean this up, I recently purchased Suitcase Fusion 5. I transferred the fonts by going into Font Book and selecting "Restore Standard Fonts." I then took the Macintosh HD; Library; "Fonts (Removed)" folder and added those to Suitcase Fusion 5.
Then I went back, and added about five of the removed fonts back into Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts — just because they are fonts I use frequently — as well as the Microsoft folder of fonts.
Now, for some reason, every time I start my computer (I shut down every night before leaving my office) about half of the Microsoft fonts are disabled by font book. The next day I enable them and everything works well and they all show up in both my Adobe and Office programs, but I'd really rather not play that game every morning. Again, almost all of the fonts being disabled are in the Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts; Microsoft folder, but only until the Ms or so, after which point they all show up as enabled and work just fine. And then there are a couple of outliers I've marked with an asterisk, that are just in the typical Macintosh HD; Library; Fonts folder that are also being disabled, the most confusing one being ThirstyRoughTextures.ttf, because the rest of the Thirsty Rough family is working just fine. (This single Thirsty Rough file is the only of the five-or-so fonts that I added back into my library after restoring it to standard fonts that is acting up. The others show up in all programs just fine.)
Anyhow, does anyone know why this might be happening, or how to resolve the issue? Any input would be great, thanks!

I'm fed up with Font Book and ready to remove it.
Just to keep it easily handy, put the Font Book app on an external drive. All other supporting system files for it will still be on the drive, so using it again rather than a third party font manager is as simple as copying FB back into the Applications folder.
It is essential after deleting Font Book to follow the steps in my article to remove the abandoned Font Book database. Even with the main Font Book app removed from the drive, if the database exists, OS X will keep trying to read and use it, and it will interfere with all other font managers.
which seemingly only activates fonts once I open up that extension
Those are extension panels Suitcase adds to apps they've written them for so you don't have to go to the main interface in order to turn fonts on or off. It's a convenience thing to speed up access to your font sets.
what will happen to programs like Microsoft Office that aren't compatible with Fusion?
If you use a panel in the Adobe apps to turn any fonts on or off, all apps system wide will see the changes in available fonts since that's how it works with any manager. Or, you can launch the main Suitcase interface to do the same thing.
MS Office has an annoying quirk I haven't seen with any other app. It will not pay attention to any fonts you've activated or deactivated after Word has been launched. That's not a Suitcase issue, it's any font manager. Office simply does not keep tabs on available fonts while in use. To see fonts you've activated after Word is already running, you have to quit Word and relaunch it. Same with turning fonts off. Doesn't matter that they're not available any more. If they were when you launched Word, they'll continue to show in the list. Attempting to use one of course doesn't work. It types in Arial, or something, but not what you chose since it can't.
Is FontBook irrelevant and Office/any other program still just utilizes the actual HD/Library/Fonts folder without it?
When font management is working as it supposed to, all apps (save Office) will change the list of fonts you can use as you turn them on or off. It used to be, way back in Tiger, 10.4 (before 10.4.3) and earlier that any fonts in the System or main Library folder were available all the time with no way to control them, other than physically deleting fonts from those folders. This is still true of the System's Fonts folder.

Font book disables Verdana fonts

for some reason, every time I enable all the Verdana fonts - stored in in /Library/fonts - to start Illustrator (17.10), three of the four are disabled by the next time I try to use Illustrator. I have a couple of versions of Suitcase installed, but they are inactive. I have no other copies of Verdana in my system or home folders, although I have backup copies a couple of places. This is driving me nuts. Why are all but Regular being turned off?

Having multiple font managers on any system will cause problems like this. Pick one and completely remove the others. Also, depending on how old these versions of Suitcase are, having the interface closed is not the same as inactive.

Address Book Disabled

Mac OS 10.4.5
896MB RAM
G4 DP 500MHz
I opened Address Book and everything except the following are grey (non-clickable):
File: Import (However, vCards, LDIF, & Text File are grey.)
File: Send Updates
Edit: Find (However, Find & Use Selection for Find are grey.)
Edit: Special Characters
Card: Add Field (However, everything is grey in this area, too.)
Help: Address Book Help
When I click on Preferences, nothing happens.
I've used Disk Utility and repaired permissions. But that doesn't help. I've tried clicking on the Address Book data file and telling OS X to use Address Book to open the file. But Address Book is grey in that window.
I'm out of ideas.
G4 DP 500MHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The Combo reinstall didn't solve the problem. In fact, it almost made me have a heart attack. All the applications quit functioning. Only the applications I installed on another volume worked. I was lucky enough to have Disk Image still working when I tried to mount the MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.5PPC.dmg file again. I tried reinstalling again but the installer immediately stopped, mentioned there were errors, and recommending try again. (When that happened before, that means REFORMAT, REINSTALL, not good.) Lucky enough again, I immediately clicked on the previously non-functioning applications which have now decided to work again.
Address Book is still in its own little world and the original problems still exist.
In the /Library folder, the Address Book Plug-Ins folder is invisible. The name is underneath an invisible folder. Click on the name and the folder immediately appears and both the name and folder immediately disappear.
I did create a New User and Address Book is functioning properly in that account. So the problems are related to my home account.
Thanks in advance for any information (and although Apple does mention it can fix broken Address Books as well, no more combo updates!! :-p )

Fireworks 8 and Font Book (OS X)

I've just noticed that when I disable fonts in OS X's Font
Book, the font names still show up in Fireworks (and Flash), even
if I restart the program, and even if I log out or restart the
machine. Is Fireworks 8 incompatible with the way Font Book
disables fonts? Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Thanks.

I've had a problem with Font Book recognizing fonts that
Fireworks won't. Perhaps it's a related issue. I have yet to
discover a solution.

Fonts for Endnote citations

Occasionally Endnote inserts a citation and switches the font from the one I'm using. I change it back, but each time I change other parts of the document, the incorrect font is reset for each of the affected citations. I thought I could use a global font replace (as in Word). However, this seems not to be an option. Any ideas?

Font info vanished in CC file!?

[I moved this over from the Creative Cloud forum FWIW]
I'm a packaging designer and recently have encountered a very problematic glitch.
I have a flat carton layout with an assortment of fonts. I saved the file one day – typical Save – just with PDF Content unchecked since that slows down my workflow. Several days later, I reopened it and all of those fonts were defaulted to Myriad Pro Regular.
Font auto-activation has been a problem in Creative Cloud, but that's not the problem. The fonts are active – they even appear properly in another layout using the many of the same text treatments.
And typically when a font is inactive and text is defaulting to Myriad, the character pallette shows you the intended font between < >
Not in this file. Every defaulted bit of text is indicated to be Myriad Pro Regular. No asterisk, No < >, No nothing.
It's as if the font information was lost the last time I saved the file, and the only way to fix it is to manually replace each bit of text with the appropriate font.
Other designers in my group have noticed this happening occassionally as well.

Mac or PC? Which font utility are you using for auto activation, Universal Type Client, Fontbook, Font Explorer? Do you have any strange fonts loaded like ending in MM (multiple master), or some oddball font foundry whose code might not be that good?
If you are not using font book, disable font book auto activation
clear your font cache - http://jamapi.com/pr/fn/
If you are not using font book, try and disable as many fonts as possible, your apps will boot quicker you will have less font problem and your menus wont take forever to scroll
If have multiple version of the same fonts try to use the newer technology of opentype or truetype whenever possible. Warning there are occasionally small type shifts in kerning and tracking and characters, so proof your line breaks. Type 1 is very old, but still many people only have them as the distribution was quite large as compared to Type 3, hoping that in years to come type 1 will go away as Type 3 did.
Using a font utility is preferred to font book, which does not perform well once you have many fonts.
Slimming down fontbook is actually tough to figure out as some fonts you need for web browsing, some you can't, and some fonts you want to manually move out of your library folder(into a disabled folder for backup). In previous version of Mac OS you could actually disable the fonts by the finder, very bad. People often want to use my machine, because I have few font problems but will share what works. The Helvetica Neu & Arial being enabled is a long story.

Sync books to multiple devices

I believe there's a bug in iTunes, but perhaps I'm just missing something.
I'm syning two devices, an iPhone and an iPad. I've turned OFF "Automatically sync new apps" so that I can select the apps to be installed/synced with each device. However, the same logic does NOT hold for Books. Every time I add a new Book to iTunes, it is automatically installed/synced with BOTH devices. I don't want to do this so for each book I want on my iPad I have to make sure to uncheck it the next time I sync my iPhone to make sure it is not installed there.
Every other tab is unique for each device so that for example when I add a movie it is NOT downloaded automatically to both devices but needs to be checked when each device is connected. Why doesn't this behavior exist for books?

I've noticed this aggravating behavior when I do not want to sync music, but I want to sync my books. iTunes always begins with Books disabled, as is Music, ... It when I. Enable Books all my music is removed.
3 or 4 versions later, and we are still putting up with tis strange behaviour(?). :(

Header Text Misalignment?

I tried to search Discussions for this problem but it's hard for me to properly describe. In both the preview pane and a "full display" message window, the text comprising the displayed headers is misaligned. Next to the top line ("From:") the tops of the text and even the "@" are slightly cut off ... and the when I move my mouse over names recognized as in my Address Book, the text also protrudes from the top of the blue highlight/shading.
As far as I know, I have not changed fonts or sizes within the program. Any ideas as to why this sort of global-within-Mail-headers text misalignment would suddenly appear and how I can fix it?
Thanks, Bob Bennett
imac intel Mac OS X (10.4.5) February 2006 Windows Refugee!

Thanks to those who replied. I wanted to take a couple minutes to tell you how I fixed the problem. Of course I first I reviewed the links given on this page about Font Book, disabling duplicate fonts, re-installing, etc. Frankly, it scared the bejeepers out of me. I'm only a year into Mac and this all sounded way too scary for my shallow end of the pool. So I took my computer to the Apple Store for my end-of-the-year ProCare tune-up and showed them the "font alignment" problem within Mail. (I found out later it was also happening in TextEdit though it was harder to see.) After two days, I returned to the Apple Store to get the computer and was simply told "No Solution Found". That, apparently, was that. I was really dismayed. I had recently installed a 30-Day trial version of Quark Express so that I could view some circa-1997 files for a project I'm working on. Quark Express was specifically mentioned in some of my reading as sometimes causing conflicts or coruption of font files. I even had the Work Order written to authorize an uninstall of Quark Express to see if it was the culprit. My machine came back with Quark still there. I was still convinced that it might be Quark and I uninstalled it myself. Problem still there. Then it hit me ... the old files I dumped onto my computer had a FONTS folder that was full of older fonts keyed into the artwork ... many designated as PostScript-type. So I went to that Folder in a Finder window, printed out a list (using PrintWindow ... a handy little item) and promptly looked up all the fonts in Spotlight. I deleted all of the old artwork folders. The older fonts that remained were all in my User/Library/Fonts folder. I sorted the fonts by date, took all the circa '97 fonts (then found out they were all PostScript) ... dragged them to a folder on my Desktop and rebooted. And ... voila ... problem solved. So while I'd like to think I'm not too cocky about this whole deal, I was able to sort out the problem that an Apple Store tech could not. Maybe I'm taking baby steps in learning how to think Mac after all! Maybe I got lucky, but it was certainly a nicer outcome than "No Solution Found"!

I installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 yesterday. Documents created by Pages '09 (v 4.1) are reformatted / garbled / text lost, I installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 yesterday. Documents created by Pages '09 (v 4.1) are reformatted / garbled / text lost

Fonts (Arial, Times New Roman) are s p r e a d, or sometimes crowded, and sometimes in the same word. Smartquotes are messed up; apostrophe-s and apostrophe-t are made into some unicode-like characters, as is italicized fl. And finally, text itself has been omitted. This is Pages from iWork '09.
Not all Pages documents have been disrupted in all these ways. But the Arial font, which I use in page headers, does seem to have been consistenly altered. Opening a Word document resulted in it opening in Pages; here, error messages noted that Ariel MS was substituted for the missing Ariel, and TimesNewRoman MS was subsituted for the missing TimesNewRoman.
Opening Word itself (Office for Mac, Word 10.1.4, created 2003) required re-loading Rosetta. Opening two documents, one substiuted 11-point TimesNewRoman (presumably MS) for 12 point; the other kept the 12-pt TimesNewRoman I always use. Again, the page hearers in Ariel looked altered.

After filling in problem detail, and filling out tags and categories (which I'd missed; this was my first entry to this forum) (and my title was doubled) this page apparently scanned my text and posted similar problems under "More Like This".
By following links I found "New Times Roman (only) font in Pages goes suddenly berserk" (NOTE: The font referred to is actually "Times New Roman"), posted by Magnificent7 in 2009.
After reading the discussion I opened Applications--> Font Book, and found that I had duplicate files for Ariel and Times New Roman, among others. I used commands in the program to discover and disable certain duplicate. On opening my Pages document(s) with problems, things looked ok, but there were still substitutions. Certain Word documents still exhibited a change in font or size.
I read that the location of path/directories for font was changed in 10.6.
Note these points about Font Book:
The Edit--> Select Duplicated Fonts command selected all duplications EXCEPT in Arial and Times New Roman.
The Edit--> Resolve Duplicates command executes, in effect, Disable commands. This didn't make things better for me, until I went back and re-Enabled the disabled fonts, and Disabled the others
The difference: Font Book disabled newer fonts (Preview--> Show Font Info), with copyrights of 2006 and "Kind" of "Open Type True Type". It selected for use, older-copyright fonts, of Kind "True Type".
The comments of "fruhulda" in the discussion mentioned above, suggested to choose "Open Type True Type". This is what worked for me.
In brief: use the Select Duplicates command IN ADDITION to fonts you know are messed up, and disable the older ones.
The File--> Validate Font command was also useful.
I also found info through Google, specifically about emptying the font cache, but I didn't do that.
