Font Book Forum- why is there none?

I was wondering why there did not appear to be a forum to do with using the Font Book font management software? I am considering using it instead of Suitcase Fusion but want to check a few things out first re compatibility and capability with large numbers of fonts. It would be helpful to be able to read any issues regards this software.

Hello, Thanks for that. There's little info that I can get from the forum for my specific OS (10.4.11). Having to wade through the numerous entries which use the word 'font' or 'book' in that particular forum is not very efficient. Does it not merit its own forum as it is a piece of software in its own right is it not? Also as it can have system and other application implications does it not merit it?

  • Font Book is empty even though I'm adding fonts. Shuts down randomely.

    I've upgraded to Yosemite on a Mac. Randomly when I open Font Book the window shows there are no fonts activated. Which I know isn't true because I'm using many non system fonts. I'll go to add a font, the computer processes like it's adding the font, but the font is nowhere to be font on Font Book. Also, as I'm clicking around trying to trouble shoot Font Book Randomly shuts down. Somethings off, can't figure out what. Please help a technologically challenged user.

    Howdy kidspaztik,
    So Font Book will randomly not show fonts but other times shows them just fine.  And at times clicking around within Font Book it may or may not quit.
    I'm wondering if there is a corrupt font somewhere, or if this happens with another user.

    Although the section "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" suggests testing with another user, it may apply here as there may be fonts stored in your user folder.

  • Installed too many fonts into font book, HELP!!!

    Hello community!
    A friend of mine gave me a folder with nearly 3000 fonts. I mistakenly opened my font book, dropped folder onto the app, and voila I thought my new mac had 3000 cool new fonts! Little did i know it seemed to slow down every program and when i tried to pull the folder that my friend gave me with all of the fonts to the trash and empty, it said everything was in use so i couldn't.
    When I tried to open the Font Book and delete it there font book just stalls and doesn't respond. One thing i've done so far is start up my computer holding shift (safe mode?). When i did this the folder my friend gave me was no longer on the desktop, and I couldn't seem to open Font Book in that mode. I then restarted and turned my computer back on in safe mode. The good news is it seems my programs aren't trying to use the 3000 fonts, and the folder seemed to have disappeard from my desktop. The bad news is Font Book still wont open, and i can see it is still recognising that the folder exist because it shows up on the side bar before is stops responding. Please help!!!

    The font collection files are probably damaged. If you have a backup, do this:
    1) Boot into Safe Mode.
    2) In your user account, open the ~/Library/FontCollections/ folder (the ~ means your home account, you won't find a folder by that name)
    3) Delete all of the .collection files.
    4) Copy all of the same files from your backup into the folder.
    5) Restart
    If you don't have a backup, you can still just delete all of the .collection files. They have no special purpose. They're just the default sets OS X installs, and none of them are necessary for OS X or Font Book to operate.
    If you prefer, move the .collection files to the desktop, then launch Font Book. If it works as expected, then one or more of those files are damaged. You can try putting them back one at a time (shutting down Font Book each time, putting one back, then launching again to test). When Font Book balks, the last one you put back is junk.

  • How to Permanently Enable Fonts in Font Book?

    Until recently, all the fonts I have installed have been permanently enabled then a few days ago, I opened Pages and was informed that some of the fonts I regularly use in most of my documents, Optima Bold, Optima Italic, Optma Bold Italic, were not active - Optima Regular was.
    I went into Font Book and found that there were many fonts which were no longer enabled. I enabled them all and carried on with my work.
    But now, I have discovered that every time I reboot, these fonts are disabled again. Surely there must be a way to permanently enable fonts.
    Can anybody help, please?

    Thank you for the link, it was much appreciated. However, I looked through it but as far as I could see it does not address the issue I am having. I have already tried deleting the font cache and Font Book's preferences.
    Also, since my first post, I have run a number of font utilities and several problematic fonts have been removed.
    I tried resetting Font Book as per the advice on the site and then deleted the font cache once more - as it advises - but there is no change.
    I find it curious that all the Optima fonts are in the same suitcase yet only one of them remains enabled.
    Something must have happened on my system in the last week or so to cause this but I can't figure out what.

  • 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?

  • HT2534 why is there no option of "none" when signing up in iTunes for the billing part

    why is there no option as "none" for the billing account in iphone5?

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

  • Is there a limit to number of fonts Font Book will manage?

    i'm using an old font manager that's causing issues. would love to just use apple's font book. however, i have hundreds (if not thousands) of fonts. is there a limit to what font book will handle?

    i'll give that a look. however, it would be nice to just use Font Book. It handles auto activation pretty smoothly and it's very lightweight. i'm all about avoiding anything extra if it's at all possible
