My Font book Seems corrupted

Opened up the font book from the application. After that I mounted the Mac Font Library.dmg file AND it becomes a Mac Font Library.
I opened the Library and dragged the fonts over to the font book. However, no fonts was installed.. E.g. I was trying to installed a font library called Adobe Systems, once I drag it over to the font book, a directory called Adobe Systems was created but nothing happened after that. I click on the this newly created font library called adobe Systems but there was no fonts installed. I suspected that my font book is corrupted. The fonts couldn't be added. I tried to look into the logs under user/library/font crash report. It created something like this...(Anywhere can I download font book and installed it again? Thanks.

Sounds like you imported one Library to another? Did you drop the Library icon onto the iPhoto icon for instance?
Restore from your back up is the simple and fast solution.

How do I re-set Font Book to factory settings?

Hi everybody, hopefully you can help me...
Just received my Refurbished iMac 21.5-Inch 2,7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. Have loaded all my software, no problem. However, I stupidly and what on earth possessed me to do it I'll never know...dragged 11,000 fonts from an external back-up disk directly into font book late last night. It was verifying all the fonts and flagged up any potential corrupt fonts, I now don't seem to be able to even open Font book without it trying to locate all 11,000 fonts. Is there a way of deleting all of these fonts and doing it properly or re-setting Font book to it's original state. I can't access the preferences on startup as Font Book seems to want to find all the fonts first and i just get a whirly wheel in the bottom right hand corner...I've also tried to locate the fonts in 'library' etc but they don't seem to be there which makes me wonder of Font Book is stuck in some kind of limbo...this is a monumental FAIL on my part I have to say.
Any Ideas???
Many Thanks
Dave

User fonts, those not require by the OS, are in two locations;
Mac HD/Library/Fonts
~/Library/Fonts
I would see if the 11M+ fonts are in ~/Library/Fonts first. If so drag them to the Trash and restart.

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 Disappeared - Help!

I'm not sure how or why, but Font Book seems to have disappeared from my Applications folder and my Mac in general. Is there any place I can go to download the Font Book application??

No, you cannot download OS X components, but you can reinstall them from your OS X Installer DVD. See the following:
How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned.
20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
• Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes.....
• Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
Stop
Leave original alone
Update ..... Default selection
Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

Font Book in 10.7 is retarded. I need recommendations for a good font manager for OSX

On our 10.5.8 G5, I'm using Extensis Suitcase.
Our new Mac Pro is running 10.7 and I need to install fonts, but Font Book seems to cry about just about every font I want to install. So, where are the best font managers for OSX as of right now? Is Extensis still the best? Thoughts? Thanks,
Chris

I know what your're talking about. I used to do phone support for an ISP.
Anyway, this last one that has me up in arms says this:
"1 serious error was found. Do not use this font."
This is in the Font Validation window when I try to install into Font Book. It shows the font name "Serpentine-Bold-Bold.ttf" in the window with an expand triangle to the left. To the far right is a red circle with a white X in it. Ahh screw it, here's a screenshot....
This font works perfectly fine on our G5 running 10.5.8

Is anyone else having problems with Font Book?

Recently tried to add some Hallowe'en fonts. Font Book seems to start, i.e., the first page opens, but it refuses to add the font, and sits there spinning the beachball. I have to force quit, get a demand to report to Apple - which I have now done 3-4 times.
Tried to open the program by itself, got the exact same response! Really do not know where to turn... help!!!

I'm having the same issue...
I just viewed the Font Management in OS X but I'm literally sitting at my desk lost looking at that. I desperately need help, cause I have new fonts I want to install.
Thanks!

Corrupt font book & spinning wheel of death means I can't access my desktop! HELP!!!

I hope someone can help as this is driving me CRAZY!!!
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and earlier installed some fonts to font book - which appears to have corrupted the font book. I am frozen out of my desktop. I can ONLY log in using safe boot to access my desktop. If I try my usual log in, all I get is the spinning wheel of death!!! Aargghhh!! It's proving a problem as I can't access any of my servers using the safe boot.
Really hope someone can help!!
Thanks,
Lee

What BDAqua said. Get those crummy fonts you added off the drive. At least one of them must be so bad that's it's corrupting RAM every time the system tries to load it.
A Safe Mode boot removes the user cache files of the account you log into in Safe Mode, and clears Font Book's database. Normally, that would allow you to restart normally since Font Book's database is not rebuilt until you launch Font Book. That you can't even get that far means you have some really BAD fonts.
Boot into Safe Mode again. Make a new folder on the desktop and move all of the fonts you added out of the /Library/Fonts/ folded, or the Fonts folder of your user account. Whichever one you put them in.
Now you should be able to startup normally.

I am having trouble getting access to fonts on hard drive. In particular Helvetica Neue Black. It seems that since HelveNeu.dfont is a system font Font Book does not give me the option to activate HelveticaNeuBlack.

We recently started using Font Book instead of Suitcase Fusion for our font management program. We are unable to activate our postscript type 1 font (Helvetica Neue Black) It seems since hel neu is a system dfont that Font Book thinks we already have it activated but HelvNeueBlack is not part of dfont. So even though I have it in my fonts folder the font is grayed out and am unable to activate. I might add that HelveBlack is also a problem. I've read the article by Kurt Lang on Font Management. I followed his directions on how to remove dfonts from system but caused more problems than it solved. I would appreciate a certified way to handle these particular fonts. Do I need to purchase the Open Type fonts to solve problem.

What I did to fix was remove Helv Fractions that cleared up the problem.
It's been quite a while since I've seen that one come up. When you mentioned that some of the type looked like jumbled fractions, that should have jogged my memory. Yes, Helvetica Fractions is long known to be a bad font. Delete it from the hard drive and never reinstall it.
The HelvNeuBlack and HelvBlack fonts you sent are indeed creating conflicts. Here are screen shots of their internal names. HelvBlack first, and HelvNeuBlack second.
In Helvetica Black, the menu name is just Helvetica, which leaves nowhere for the regular Helvetica font to display in your font lists. It also then creates a cross reference between the two fonts. It is also reporting two other different names to the OS for the same font. Helvetica Black, and Helvetica-Black. You can technically get away with doing that, but it's bad practice.
Helvetica Neue Black is the same type of bad naming. The menu name is just Helvetica Neue, which leaves nowhere for the real Helvetica Neue to go in your menu lists. Then they rather oddly threw in Helvetica 95 Black for the full name, as opposed to HelveticaNeue-Black for the other two spots.
Just some really sloppy work here by someone for what I would guess were Type 1 PostScript fonts converted to Mac legacy TrueType. If you don't have the software to fix the names, the only good suggestion is to throw these fonts out and purchase new ones from a vendor who builds fonts correctly. And while they're kind of pricey, that means either Adobe or Linotype.

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...

Reinstall of corrupt fonts in font book?

I tried researching my issue, but came up with too many different scenarios and also need more specific step by step remedy.
Running Map Book Pro
OS X 10.6.8
Traveling for business and holiday until Jan.
Working in Adobe Cloud, specifically In-Design and Adobe Pro I discovered that certain fonts weren't rendering properly for colleagues.
Online advice said to go to system font book and verify my fonts, then delete corrupt ones.
There were 32. (They are still in my trash, as I was afraid to delete entirely without a restoration remedy.)
So, I can't get to my original install materials, but I also can't work without some of these basic fonts missing for the time being.
How did my fonts get corrupted? (Do I have other issues such as a virus to look for?)
Can I temporarily fix things without the original disks?
Can a Apple Genius do this at a store?
What's the step by step process to fix this for good?
Any recommendation or help appreciated!

Should I put back the fonts i removed to my trash can back first?
In case any of them actually are bad, no. Not that it would matter if you did, since retrieving them from your OS X install disk as outlined in the article will replace all of them with fresh copies anyway.
Do these steps in the order shown.
1) Follow the article's instructions to reinstall all of the fonts in the /System/Library/, and /Library/Fonts/ folders. This will replace all fonts with fresh copies from the DVD.
2) Reset Font Book. 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.
3) Since step two does not clear the system font cache files, you need to do this next.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
That's it, you will have all known good copies of your fonts, and newly created font cache data. At this point, if you always use only the fonts supplied with OS X and don't ever add, remove or manage your fonts (turn them and or off), there's no need for you to ever launch Font Book. Heck, you could throw the app in the trash if you wanted to (but don't in case you need it at some point).

HT201749 i seem to have deleted font book. how can i download this app back on?

i seem to have deleted font book by mistake. how can i download this app back on? i can't find it on the mac website...

You can custom install the Font Book directly from disc #1 that came with your computer when it was purchased. Follow the onscreen custom install instructions.
If you’d like to reinstall applications that aren’t offered in the Custom Install screen—applications in the Utilities folder or in the Bundled Software folder for example—you can use Pacifist - http://www.charlessoft.com/

Corrupted fonts Gone from Font Book / problem remains

_I have spent all day paying for the recklessness of installing fonts willy-nilly , I have now learned of font valication, and dozens of new things but, after using advice from Dr.Smokes' eBook & other sources, I still get such pages as the Apple start-up full of upside-down looking junk !
Can anyone help my addled, swollen brain, & point me towards the next step, or where to find it
~~TIA~~ --=Dave t_

Hi, Dave:
1. You've not provided any of the useful details needed to help solve your problem. For example:1.1. What fonts did you install?
1.2. How and where did you install them?
1.3. What fonts have you since removed?
1.4. How, and from where, did you remove them?The people answering questions here are not clairvoyant. WIthout such details, there's little to nothing that can be done to help you.
2. If I assume you installed them via Font Book, and did not change Font Book's default preferences for where fonts are installed, then:2.1. The fonts you installed are probably in your Home > Library > Fonts folder. If so, either trash them or create a new folder on your desktop and drag all the fonts in your Home > Library > Fonts folder to such. Assure your Home > Library > Fonts folder is empty.
2.2. Then, clear your font cache: see my "Undoing Font Book" FAQ or the "Reset Font Book" section in my book.
2.3. Also, clear your browser's cache. If you are using Safari, then press Command-Option-E.3. If none of the above helps, or if you may have trashed system-related fonts, then the next thing I would suggest is performing an Archive and Install of Mac OS X. See either the "Archive and Install" chapter in my book or my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ for some important tips on this process.
You know how to reach me if any of the above requires further clarification.
Good luck!

Only 10 fonts in Font Book, though all seem to be working

Only 10 fonts appear in Leopard Font Book, though the standard font palette in Pages etc indicates that all my hundreds of fonts are working. I've tried "adding" my User Fonts folder to no avail, and deep cleaning all caches with Leopard Cache Cleaner didn't help either.
Am I alone, and if not, is there a fix for this?

Answering this and the next posting in one:
The fonts listed in the User list are:
Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold
Abadi MT Condensed Light
Adobe Garamond
Adobe Jenson
Adobe Wood Type
AkzidenzGrotesk
Andale Mono
Frutiger
ITC Anna
ITC Fenice
These are the same 10 that I mentioned in my original posting.
Of these, only Fenice is marked as a duplicate, but the Resolve Duplicates command does nothing. None of the listed fonts can be disabled using the checkbox or menu command.
If further User fonts are manually loaded, many (in fact most) of them are marked as duplicates, but the same comments apply (i.e. neither Resolve Duplicates nor Disable does anything).
After a number (a dozen or so) fonts are manually added, Font Book will start to crash with each addition.
My Leopard installation was Customized to avoid installing the additional Asian fonts. Subsequently, I reinstalled (using Pacifist), the /System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts folders. I then placed my other fonts into /Users/Home/Library/Fonts manually, but although they function correctly in applications, Font Book does not see them and will not load them, either all at once or a few at a time. The fonts have a variety of origins including Adobe, Microsoft and others, but all of them have previously been verified OK by both Font Book (Tiger edition) and Font Doctor.

Font Book: Installed postscript Fonts don't always appear in Font Book list

Greetings,
I was helping a user the other day with Font Book. I was showing him how to add/enable fonts into Font Book when I noticed a problem I had never seen before. Before I get started, the fonts in question are from the Adobe 7 Font Folio library. There were newly installed by me from the original disk, and known not to be corrupt. I also know that that Postscript fonts are an accepted font format in Tiger.
That said, when adding.installing a particular font using Font Book, it would not "Appear" in the Font Book" list of fonts. I would attemp to, again add/enable the font (by selecting it from the Adobe Library) and still it would not appear in the Font Book list with the other installed fonts. This would happen to any font that I tried to install. Once this happenend to a specific font, I could no longer get that specific font to install.
I removed the Font Book .plist - no luck. I also rebooted - no luck.
Obviously, no application was able to recognize any of the fonts that would not install.
It was as if Font Book would not recognize any font that I was trying to add/enable.
Could this be a corrupted cache issue, or .plist problem? Could this be a permissions related issue? What did work finally was to add the font to the "Computer" set, where it would be avaialbe to all users. But I could not get the font to install into the "User" set. Weird.
Also, What is the significance of these four fonts:
HelveLTMM
Helvetica LT MM
Times LT MM
TimesLTMM
These fonts above are part of the default package that is loaded into the /System/Library/Fonts
Is it safe to replace these with Postscript version from my Adobe 7 Font Folio collection?
I have read most of the font related tutorials and articals.
thanks,

where did
you get the information about pre-92 Adobe postscript
fonts being uncompatible?
Oh, sure, it's hard enough for me to remember things these days and now you want me to remember where I learned them from?? geez... [gone lookin' ... okay, back] It was, as I vaguely recalled, on the Adobe site, re troubleshooting in OS X, in a list of "do this to solve your problems": "Make sure that you are using the latest version of the font... If the font's creation date is prior to 1992, a new version of the font may be available." The only Type 1's that have given me any problems were, all three of them, older than 92, and in troubleshooting something here a few weeks ago, that turned out to be a problem for someone else, too.
But all of the Tiger font
research that I have done suggests that Adobe
Postscript fonts were acceptable.
Yes, well... Type 1's are supported. It seems that some older ones are a little funky (not in a design sense....)
Ideally, what fonts can be removed from Tiger from
the System/Libray/Fonts folder? I know that all four
of the MM's (Helvetica LTand Times LT), Lucida
Grande, Geneva, Keyboard, Last Resort, and Monoco
must stay, but what about the others?
You also need a real Helvetica - that is, not the MM version. You can replace the system's Helvetica with one of your own, but there must be an available Helvetica around at all times.
Then there's AquaKana (two of them, regular and bold). They're not on Apple's official "do not remove" list, but there's some anecdotal evidence of its being needed. It's "real" name begins with a period, so it doesn't appear in any menu, so it's not going to hurt anything if you leave it there.
In stripping down nonessential fonts, lots of people just remove everything from the Library/Fonts folder, but I think it's good to leave the basic most common web fonts available: Comic Sans, Georgia, Trebuchet, Verdana, Times New Roman. This keeps web pages looking the way they're supposed to - and they shouldn't conflict with anything that's being really designed!
This is assuming that the fonts
being used are not damaged and "Pass" Font Book's
validation test.
The assumption within that assumption is false: Font Book's validation is pretty iffy. I think the only reason we don't see it as REALLY iffy is because fonts, on the whole, are pretty solid in OS X (your current experience to the contrary). I've installed fonts (properly) that flew through the automatic-on-install validation but failed when I used the Validate Font command afterwards. I've had fonts that pass both the on-install and specific after-install validation but get a Bad Font warning dialog when being re-enabled after a disabling. (And I didn't use the font in between... ) Who knew Font Book did any validating when you re-enable fonts??
This is what I would do:
(Not necessarily in this order)
1. Trash Font Book .plist
2. Trash all Font Cache's from all three libraries
(System, Computer, and User folders)
3. Reboot
4. Delete problem fonts from User and Computer
Libraries and reinstall using Font Book.
Please tell me if this strategy is ill-advised, and
what the better course of action might be.
None of it is ill-advised. I would add starting up in Safe Mode to see if the problems exist there as part of the narrow-down-the-problem stage. Same goes for setting up a separate user account and see how things are behaving there. (Yikes... did you try that yet??)
In addition, there are some special things to do when it's Office apps having the problem, or something going on with Adobe's application fonts folder...
Also, Zaph Dingbats is acting up as well. I removed
the .dfont version that was in the system folder, and
replaced it with the Adobe Font Folio Postscript
version (ITC Zaph Dingbats) that I loaded into Font
Book User/Library/Fonts folder. Now that I think
about it, that specific font has been around for
along time, and may very well be pre-1992. Hmmm...
Can you further define "acting up" ? In addition to the ZD dfont from the system, I've been using/testing ITC ZD from Adobe with no problems. It's version 2.0 with copyright dates of 1985 through 1987.
A lot to respond to. My apologies.
No problem. You caught me on a night when I'm too tired for real work but not so far gone I can't do this (tho I'm soon on my way, bleary-eyed, to get a fix of Sudoku puzzles).

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.
