Fonts, fonts and more fonts. Which to remove?

I have a trillion fonts - and I don't need that many. What is the MINIMUM font set I can get away with? I have Suitcase, and I will have it activate fonts as needed - but I've got to trim down my system font list.
I've seen an older post that showed which fonts are needed - but I want to know what specifically I need for the system to work properly, for Safari to load and display pages properly, and for things to run right - but NO MORE THAN THAT.
I am pulling my hair out with pulldowns that have (literally) hundreds and hundreds of fonts.
Thanks in advance...

ANN: Upgrade Lorem and More for Dreamweaver CS5

My Lorem and More extension, which inserts Lorem ipsum and other filler text into Dreamweaver pages, can cause Dreamweaver CS5 to crash in certain circumstances.
I have updated the extension to make it compatible with CS5. If you use Lorem and More, please download the updated version (1.3.0) from http://foundationphp.com/tools/index.php.
It's a free extension, and the new version is backwards compatible with all versions of Dreamweaver (apart from really ancient ones).

Works intermittently in:
DW CS5.5. (Version 11.5 Build 5344. Windows 7. Lorem and More 1.3.0.)
DW CS4 (Version 10.0 Build 4117. Windows XP Pro. Lorem and More 1.3.0.)
identical behavior in both
It works fine IF:
I open a file, go immediately to Insert | Lorem & More | choose any combination of Type, Format and Amount and click OK;
I open a file, click anywhere in the file or move the cursor with the keyboard arrow keys and then choose Insert | Lorem.... (etc)
BUT, if I type any keyboard character, number, Enter, Space or Backspace, then Lorem & More will NOT work.
If I then close the file, reopen it and try Lorem & More again without first typing anything in the file, it will work.
EDIT: just discovered that it will work again if I give the focus to something outside of the Document window (for example, click on a file or folder name in the Files panel, launch Help, click in the CSS Styles panel or Properties panel), then repeat the Insert | Lorem... steps. Also, it works if I click on something outside the Document window, then click again in the Document window. So:
Type anything in the document
Insert | Lorem....
= FAIL
Type anything in the document
Click somewhere else in Dreamweaver to remove the focus from the Document window
Insert | Lorem...
= WIN
Type anything in the document
Click somewhere else in Dreamweaver to remove the focus from the Document window
Click back in the Document window where you want to insert the lorem ipsum
Insert | Lorem...
= WIN

How can I decrease my font size in mail? I have it set to small and yet it is enormous, letters running into one another. I have rebooted and more. Something is over riding my setting. Any suggestions?

You haven't mentioned which mail it is,
If it is G-mail go to settings --> general tab--> default text style , you can change your font size & then save at the bottom of the page

Safari and Leopard seeing fonts which aren't installed?

I'm having a problem in which Leopard seems to be seeing fonts which aren't installed.
I like to have my web pages display in Helvetica, and I'm pretty obsessive about cleaning out all of the places OS X and the various Adobe and Microsoft apps stash fonts. With Tiger and earlier this wasn't a problem, but Leopard seems to be doing something new. Specifically, Safari--and only Safari--shows that Georgia, Verdana and Times are installed and renders web pages with them, even though I have removed all of those fonts from my system.
I have double and triple checked to make sure none of those fonts are left on my drive. I searched for them, took all the instances I could find, zipped them, copied them onto a second hard drive and deleted the instances on my primary drive. Searching with Spotlight doesn't find them. I open Font Book and it doesn't see them. No other application shows the fonts as available. If I open up Fontexplorer it doesn't show those fonts as active or available, and I have used it to clear caches and restart. Yet if I go to Safari->Preferences->Appearance, the fonts show up as available, and only in Safari.
Does anyone know if Apple has made some change in Webkit/Safar, or do I have some old cache file sitting around? I did a Archive and Install, and preserved my user settings. Could there be a file hanging around I don't know about?

does it pre-load/pre-install fonts into your system you dont have or something???
It can't add software to your system that is not there somewhere already, but it will activate fonts no matter where they are for use by an app if the app requests the font. You can set it to ask you first before it does this.

Hi Stephan,
this solved placing both animation on one page. Make sure all your fonts are called out in the <head> section like for example:
<script>var __adobewebfontsappname__="dreamweaver"</script>
<script src="http://use.edgefonts.net/quicksand:n3,n4:default.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Dreamweaver does this automatic for you. If you are having a font conflict I recommend under command (if you are using dreamweaver)
Clean up the font Tag and add only the ones that you are using again, sometimes they accumulate.
Good Luck.

Corrupted fonts can't remove

Apparently I have some corrupted fonts which I have not been able to remove. I disable them, restart computer and some enabled again. Attempt to remove via comand, occasionally they appear in trash but some have the grayed out "remove font..."
Anyone have any suggestions? Lion OSX

Go to your Applications folder and launch Fontbook.
You can either select the one font you think is the problem.
Go under the File menu and select Validate Fonts
This brings up a Font Validation window. Here, if you get a little checkbox next to the font it’s good to go. If you get a yellow warning sign, there may be a problem, and if you get a red “x” then the font is corrupt.
You can then remove the corrupt fonts by checking the boxes next to them and clicking Remove Checked at the bottom of the program window

Mac Entourage Installed Fonts - Which Are Needed?

We just had to load Microsoft Entourage onto our Mac OSX stations at my workplace (10.3.9 and 10.4.8) to replace using the OSX's Mail program in order to work with our Windows Servers.
Don't ask me why! I'm not happy about it. Mail was working great until the "Powers That Be" decided to move our mail server to another area.
The Entourage install loaded A TON of fonts into the User Font Folder.
Anyone know what Entourage fonts need to stay and what can safely be removed?

I will answer my own question, in case anyone was wondering.
After the EntouRAGE install, go to it's preferences and the Fonts section. Then make sure you choose fonts that are in your System Library.
Then it is safe to uninstall the 50+ fonts Microsoft installed.

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

I have made yearly subscription to Chandamama junior english and Telugu magazines which are released monthly by publishers. I could download for only 2months from itunes store and now cannot download any more. No error message. When I enter my itunes store password, it simply ignores. Please help.

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

I want ro remove all of the default Firefox bookmarks. There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me. I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?

Also, I am vision impaired and reading through such a long list is very eye-fatigueing to me.

Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. HELP!

Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. It has been doing this for weeks, and I can't purchase anything! HELP!

Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

Is there a software which can remove unused files leftover from removed applications?

Hi there guys, as the title says... Does anyone know of anything, or anyway that I can do this easily? I notice that I do have files left here and there from software which I have long since removed... Any easy way to remove these files..?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

[SOLVED] Losing more and more space everyday

Hello,
During around 2 weeks I have a really strange problem: I'm loosing more and more free space everyday, and I can't figure what cause that.
The system is installed on a 12GB ext4 partition. My home is on it but as I move data to another partition something else tooks the free space; I used to have 4GB of data inside home, including all hidden folders, now it's only 1.5GB and the next big folder is the "windows" folder of wine.
What should I use to monitor if a file is increasing or all write operations of my applications?
Thanks.
Edit: my cache folder is empty and I removed the .thumbnails folder.

Yes I had a problem with my logs : everything.log, kernel.log and messages.log got spammed by this 4 lines every second
Jun 29 03:52:01 anarky-laptop kernel: [18650.554384] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x8d on isa0060/serio0).

Jun 29 03:52:01 anarky-laptop kernel: [18650.566370] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e00d <keycode>' to make it known.
Which is now solved by doing some strange manipulations (this was not the first time I had to do it, but I had forgotten it).
@DSpider: I changed my logrotate.conf like in your post, so without doing anything else I should recover free space in 2 weeks?
