Font crashing Font Book

A font that I've used successfully on my G5 in 10.4 will not load on my new iMac in 10.6.2. If I double-click on the suitcase file Font Book crashes. I've downloaded Font Doctor and it crashes when I try to do a diagnosis. If I try to "Get Info" I get a spinning beach ball for a few seconds and then screen refreshes and I don't get the Info pane. The font is obviously incompatible with Snow Leopard.
Can anyone recommend a repair utility that might correct this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially since we paid almost $1,500 for the whole font family. I bought it from Font Bureau and they refuse to respond to requests for help... great (expletive deleted) customer service.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to recall that the main reason we were steered away from Type-1 was the fight that Apple and Adobe had over the licensing of Postscript, including Display Postscript. The result of that fight was True-Type... the first bucket of mud thrown into otherwise clear waters.
Since 1987 I've been accumulating Type-1 fonts from numerous sources, penned several myself with Fontographer and worked for two major newspapers that were Mac based and running Type-1 fonts. All that time I/we never had a problem with any of them until I switched to Snow Leopard. When you stop to think of the millions of Type-1 fonts that have been in use all those years it's hard for me to accept that Apple (and the rest of the industry) wouldn't find a way to support them.
Think about it... what is a font supposed to do? Render accurately on screen and output... period. Failure to support Type-1 smacks of arrogance uncharacteristic of Apple. What are we supposed to do, buy new fonts? It would cost me $50,000 to $100,000 to replace my "obsolete" Type-1 font library. Yea, like that's ever going to happen.
I know there are limitations to Type-1 but how do these limitations affect the end user? Of all the people typing on computer keyboards today what percentage of them even need one ligature or any of the so-called improvements over Type-1... 1%, 2%? Perhaps I just don't get it, but I'm open minded and willing to learn so if someone can explain (in plain English) what makes Type-1 obsolete I'm all ears.

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 reporting 0 fonts and crashing

Hi,
I see that Font Book has been mentioned as having some problems before, but no definitive answers were given.
My MacBook crashed hard last night (for the first time), and when I restarted, some of my fonts weren't appearing, notably Chinese fonts and (I think) Helvetica.
Going into Font Book (which was the first application that showed up typing "font" in Spotlight) showed no fonts of any kind. When I tried to add all the fonts already in /System/Library/Fonts and a few other locations, it reported that some fonts had caused "System Validation" (completely unexplained) problems and should not be installed - these are "Helvetica LT MM" and "Times LT MM". It also popped up alert boxes for a series of fonts (Geneva.dfont, Keyboard.dfont, etc.) that caused conflicts with system fonts and should be removed or something.
After that, Chinese fonts work on the system, but Font Book still reports that I have no fonts at all.
When I reboot, my fonts are gone again. This is VERY tedious.
Also, if I log into another user account on the system (mine is an administrator account and the other account is not, I don't know if this bears any significance), fonts act normally without any configuration needed, and Font Book seems to work fine as well - i.e. fonts are listed!
I tried deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Font Book/fb.db and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.FontBook.plist as well as overwriting both with the other user's versions, along with multiple reboots.
At this point I'd really appreciate any suggestions, because so far I was enjoying Leopard and this is spoiling it, on Christmas eve too :P

Font Book's database may have gotten trashed. It could also be the font collection files. Try this:
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 you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
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 of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
If this doesn't do it, then proceed to the next possibility:
2) From the desktop, hold down the Option key and at the menu bar, choose Go > Library to open the Library folder within your user account. Go to the FontCollections folder and move all sets to the desktop. Try launching Font Book again.

Font Book crashes when trying to remove corrupt fonts

I have recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and am having problems with my fonts.
After installing some of my previously used fonts, some of them didn't pass validation. I don't mind removing them - I barely use 1% of the fonts I have, but when I run Font Validation in Font Book and then select all the corrupt files and click "Remove" - Font Book just gets stuck.
Then I went by the list and removed MANUALLY all the invalid font files (the ones with the red cross sign).
Then only the minor warnings remained , but even when I try to remove them with Font Book - it still crashes.
It's ridiculous to remove them manually one by one, cause I have a huge collection of 1000s of fonts and there are more than 500 corrupt fonts there. I'm not using many fonts, but I want to keep my library up and working, so I want to get rid of everything that might cause problems...
Any help?

Hi Kurt
Sorry, was busy, didn't answer for some time. Thanks - it helped me to run Font Book again and install new fonts, but Font Book is still causing me a lot of trouble - never had so much in Leopard - I'm frustrated, maybe you can help on those:
After completely wiping clean all my fonts databases and folders etc. I've started loading back my Font libraries into Font Book. I don't copy fonts to any new folder, I just activate them from wherever they are without copying. First thing I noticed, is the amount of "corrupt" fonts has increased enormously - I have a couple of folders with alsmot all 400-500 fonts corrupt (yellow sign) with this error message: 'kern' table structure and contents. All of them with the same Error message.
The next thing that happened, is that at some point Font Book has just deleted my new font libraries again without any notice. Then I installed them back again. It deleted them again (I think after a restart).
Another bug is that Font Book always activates all the new fonts upon loading them, although I clearly runed off "Automatic fonts activation" in the Preferences. So every time I load a library I manually disable all of the fonts, and then enable only the ones I use.
BUT! What happens next, is completely outrageous - when I launched FB next time, all my new font libraries where activated again! jezus - I had to go and disable them all and again activate the ones I need. This repeated several times, until I decided to delete the fontbook.plist prefs file from Preferences. I think it helped for now, but I'm not sure yet - will wait and see.
Also there is a bug in FB, that when I install a new library, it always jumps my cursor into renaming the name of this library, and doesn't let me navigate the fonts with keyboard, unless I restart. This is an obvious bug.
And the last thing that happened is that I cannot type my Baltic languages fonts anymore - the input of the keyboard is completely wrong. Those are TrueType fonts, and most of them worked perfectly in Leopard with InDesign. Now when I type the baltic letters in InDesign I see squares. But when I open Glyphs - I see all those letters and need to put them in manually from Glyphs panel. This is totally frustrating and I cannot work. But I will make a separate post about this issue.
Thanks in advance for help...

How can I get Font Book to install new fonts with Lion OS X without crashing?

Font Book is unresponsive using Lion 10.7.1. When I click on Font Book icon in the dock, I get "Application not Responding". Can't install any new fonts. Anyone else having this issue?
I can get to the open Font Book window if I click on Mission Control to get there, but once there I see spinning wheel, which does not stop.
Any suggestions on how to get Font Book to work well on Lion?

Quick update... I removed all non System fonts from ~/Library/Fonts and deleted com.apple.fontbook.plist from ~/Library/Preferences.
Now FontBook doesn't crash when launched.
I think I'm going to use a 3rd party application to manage all non Apple/System fonts. Hopefully that will avoid any future problems.

Font Book crashing

As I'm attempting to add some new fonts, Font Book crashes whether I add one font or a dozen. I'm not installing them, but just want them handy in the event I want to use them. Is there a limit on the number of fonts this app can handle?
Also, do you recommend any other font management software? This is the first time I've had this issue with Font Book and I'm perplexed.
TIA
Ruth

Here's a sampling of the fonts:

KuriakosBlackSSK Bold.ttf

KerusaSSK Italic.ttf
KerusaSSK BoldItalic.ttf
KentuckyFriedFont.ttf
KR Foo'ball.ttf
KR Fleurish Circle.ttf
They were a download from a trusted source. In this particular download, I was able to add some to Font Book, but then I started having crashes. Before adding to Font Book I verified and deleted fonts that were suspect. I haven't been adding them to the main library, but making a new library that I can access if and when I want. Does this answer your question or do you need more information?
The Help section of Font Book doesn't have a lot of help for a situation like this.
I'm planning on looking at the software you suggest, but was away a good share of the day so I'm finally getting around to answering your question.

Font Book Crashes

Whenever I open Font Book, it crashes immediately. Deleted preferences, fb.db, logged in in Safe Mode, repaired disk permissions. Doesn't work. Appreciate any help.

Since you've already tried trashing the database file, then it's got to be a corrupt font, which will cause the database to be damaged each time it's added to the list.
Create a new folder on the desktop. Move all of your fonts out of the /Library/Fonts/ folder and the Fonts folder of your user account into the new folder. Dump Font Book's database file again. Also clear out the font cache files after moving the fonts. Font Finagler can do that.
After the Mac restarts (Font Finagler will force a restart), try Font Book again. It should open.

Font Book hang, Pacifist, crash, now blue screen, no login...please help!

Hi everybody,
I have a friend's iBook G4 that had a problem with Font Book hanging, she had installed some fonts that caused this problem. I found support thread that suggested using Pacifist to re-install the fonts from the install dvd. This seemed to be working fine, but then Pacifist crashed in the middle of this process. Now when starting the iBook, the screen is blue and there is no login screen.
I have tried booting in Safe Mode but it has the same results. I have run Disk Repair and Repair Permissions from the install disc, but this hasn't changed anything.
Can someone here offer any suggestions as what my next move may be? I'm not opposed to reinstalling the OS, but will this mean that all her (paid for third party programs) will be lost?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I know I've gotten in over my head on this, but I'm trying to fix my stupid mistake;)

Hi Adam,
You can use the Archive and Install feature to just reinstall the OS. All of her files and settings should be OK. Of course, there's never any guaranty with computers.

Font book crashes on launch, can't use MS Office

Hi there,
I have a problem which started with MS office not opening. As soon as I tried to open a Word document, it would close saying that it has encountered a problem and needs to close. After a spot of googling I discovered that this might be a problem with a corrupted font, and sure enough fontbook wont open either!
When I try to open fontbook, it says that it has closed unexpectedly. Unfortunately, all this happened the day before I was due to hand in a 6,000 word project for my MSc which I could suddenly not access to print off... needless to say that after 4 years of trouble-free (ish) Mac ownership I was more than slightly hacked off.
Anyway I decided to create a new user account to test if the problem happened in there as well, and luckily everything was fine and I was able to print the document, but font book and Office still wont open in my regular user account.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Does Font Book still not open? If so, then you probably have some damaged fonts. Though it could also be an OS problem. But it's easier to start with the fonts, so try this.
At the bottom of my article, Font Management in OS X, you'll find instructions to reinstall all of the fonts that come with OS X.
Close all Office applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
Go to the /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Fonts/ folder. Copy all of the fonts in that folder to the /Library/Fonts/ folder, overwriting all of the existing fonts of the same name. The ones you want to replace may also be in your user account at ~/Library/Fonts/. You'll just have to look first.
If after that you still have problems, then it's more likely a problem with Office itself, or the OS.

HELP!!! Font Book crashed my OS, I only get my desktop image on startup

I was importing a large folder of fonts into Font Book, which apparently couldn't handle it and froze, I force-powered it down and now anytime I start up, I get my desktop image and my cursor moves but I get no menu options or anything but a search icon (magnifying glass) over a tiny portion of what would be the top menu bar. When I roll over this I get the spinning color wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Font Book importing large font library

Restart and hold down the shift key. This starts in safe mode. rebuild permissions and try restart again. It might take a few minutes to start in safe mode. If this works fine but dont use font book. I'll tell you another way to deal with fonts.

Font Book beach ball, crashing

I have about 2000 fonts I'm trying to sort with Font Book, and I'm encountering two really frustrating problems:
1) I'm getting beach balls on start up, and pretty much every other function I go to do. There's a lag time like the system is choking from a lack of memory - but my Macbook is maxed out with 4gb of ram.
2) If I add a duplicate font to a collection by accident, Font Book immediately quits. Obviously in the course of sorting fonts, it's hard remember exactly what you added, so doubling up, adding the same font is unavoidable.

I am getting simular issues, FCPX works like a dream. Motion 5, not so much. It opens fine, but as soon as I start looking through the library at the content, the beach ball does it's thing.
I have an iMac, OS X (V10.6.8)
Processor: 3.06GHz MHz 2 Duo
Memory: 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
No matter what I do, the Beach ball spins forever, and then I get a message saying "That I have too many apps open and need to close some". But most of the time all I have open is Motion and Safari.
Or I get the "Motion is no longer responding" message.
And when I have Motion open, and not doing anything with it, my iMac slows down. Even using Sarfari is painful.
Anyone have any hit or tips for this problem?
Thanks

Font Book locks up/crashes after deleting 3 fonts?! Weird! But consistant!

I have a lot of fonts so I understand that sometimes Font Book and programs that use fonts might run a tad bit slow at times. However, lately, going through my fonts and deleting what I don't need has given birth to the weirdest thing ever. While deleting fonts, after deleting three fonts, Font Book hangs and does not respond. I simply have been closing it and starting over. Consistantly, after deleting a third font, no matter what it is, I get the spinning wheel and it doesn't stop. I have even tried restarting and repairing disk permissions. Always hangs on the third deletion. Weirdest thing ever!! Is my Macbook Pro on drugs?!

Hi AngelHair
If you are familiar with necessary fonts, you might like to read Dr Smokes

I think it is font book that might be high, not your Mac.

Font Book 2.0.3

I am trying to find out if my Font Book has Crashed. My Illustrator all of a sudden would stop responding, uninstalled it and reinstalled. But I get the following error when I tried to create a PDF:
The font Futura could not be imbedded in the PDF document because of licensing restrictions. Stroked key will not be visible. It says this about all of the fonts in my document. And they are messed up on the screen also.
In word, it takes forever to load, it seems to stall for awhile when it gets the Font info. And when I look in the drop down menu for the fonts, they are all jumbled on top of each other, and when I scroll down to the bottom, it has weird distortion stuff, nothing that even looks like a font.
A few months back I downloaded Suitcase by Extensis, but after it installed, I had nothing in my drop down menus for my windows, The drop down menu was empty, I did not even have options for shutting down the computer. It was that way in all my program windows. So I used App Zapper to remove it, but there were plug ins left behind in Illustrator & Indesign. So I manually removed them, and the apps seemed to work fine till 3 weeks ago, when I got the Black Screen on my computer. I wasn't even doing anything, I walked away came back and it was there. Took 2 reboots to get it up, but when I went into any app that has font options it would either not load due to not responding, or it would take forever for it to load.
Also, get some kind of weird language on all the Adobe stuff I have installed on here, the screen says it is displaying in English, but it is definitely not English.

Thanx for the reply, although for future reference I prefer warm fuzzy emails, that do not make me want to cry...
Sorry, didn't intend to bring you to tears. It is better to post here though since you may get help from quite a few knowledgeable people.
I am a PC person, so this is my first full time MAC position, which I am not finding rewarding.
This is unusual. Macs are normally very stable. It's hard to tell from here of course what may have led to so much trouble. I still think your first best bet is an Archive and Install. Find the gray OS X installation disk that came with your Mac. If the copy of Tiger you have installed is a retail disk (black with a silver X on it), use that.
For safety's sake, you should first create a backup of your hard drive to an external, or other internal drive if you have one.
Insert the OS X installation disk in your drive. A window will appear for it when it mounts. Double click the icon to install OS X. The Mac will reboot to the CD/DVD for you. When it's ready, you'll first get the option of which language to use. Continue to the next screen. I can't remember how quickly the option you need comes up, but I think it's after which hard drive you choose to install OS X to. Anyway, look for a button that brings up a choice as to how OS X is installed. You'll find a choice for Archive and Install. Make sure to also select the option to preserve your settings and preferences. Continue with the installation.
When it's done, you'll have fresh install os OS X on the hard drive. Apply all available updates. You'll also find a folder marked Previous System. That's everything the Archive and Install replaced. You can trash that. That will take care of any problems with the OS itself.
I had Illustrator loaded previously, using all of the same fonts, embedding all fonts, including Futura, and this is the first time I ever saw this message. I do not have this message is InDesign, instead I get "You might not be able to print w/.... or stroke its characters because the fonts outline file is missing". And then when I go to PDF it says it could not embed the fonts due to the missing "Outline File". What the heck is an "Outline File"???? And how do I get one?
Ah, so the Illustrator message is probably incorrect. On the PC, I'm sure you're aware that a Type 1 PostScript font is made up of two files for each type face. One with a .pfm extension, and the other with .pfb. Mac Type 1 PostScript fonts are made up of two parts. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
Adobe Garamond
AGarBol
AGarBolIta
AGarIta
AGarReg
AGarSem
AGarSemIta
The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.
So in your case, you have the suitcase of bitmap screen fonts, but not the vector outline font for the typeface you're using. Hence the message, "...because the fonts outline file is missing". Since so many of the fonts you're trying to use won't embed, you probably only have the screen fonts for all of them.

HT2509 Font Book vs Mountain Lion issue

Font Book keeps crashing as soon as it loads now that I have installed Mountain Lion. Is there a Font Book update that I need? I currently have Font Book 4.1
Using a 27" iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with wireless keyboard. Don't seem to be able to do a Safe Reboot either.

You were right; corrupt fonts. Reloaded all fonts but did not validate any with issues. Seems to be fine now.
Until I need them again, of course. Which, most probably, will be in the near future.
Thanks for your help. I will persevere with Mountain Lion until something else goes haywire. Not impressed so far.
