So you're telling me NOT to put the fonts in the system fonts folder or my user fonts folder?Ĭorrect. Most everything you'd want to know about how OS X handles fonts is in there.
#SUITCASE FUSION 4 FONTS IMMEDIATELY DEACTIVATE MAC OS X#
Once you've moved your fonts to a new location, trash the preference files for Suitcase again and restart your Mac.įont Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther a read.
But as mentioned, you need to get them out of OS X's Fonts folders. Nope, doesn't make any difference to OS X or Suitcase if they're in sub folders. Should I take em out of those folders and have em all directly in the fonts folder? That's how it's supposed to be used.Īlso, these fonts are grouped in alphabetical order, I have a folder for each letter (first letter) and I file my fonts accordingly. Then activate/deactivate them with Suitcase from there. Leave the system fonts alone, but move all other fonts to a new folder. To control them with Suitcase, you don't wantĪny of your fonts in either folder. In any of OS X's Fonts folder, fonts are active all the time. Particularly with applications still seeing the fonts you've "disabled". There's no advantage for a single user to use that folder over the one in your user account, or visa versa.Īctually, that's part of your problem. In a normal setting where you're controlling the fonts manually, the \Library\Fonts\ folder would be fine. Damaged fonts will bring down any font manager. That's not a great number of fonts, but could easily contain one of more corrupt copies. Would it be better? Since I'm the only user, I thought I'd put it on the HD rather than in my user account.how does that sound? I don't store any in my user font library. Last time I could work with XS, I had something like 1600 fonts. So if you're getting the same hang problem after deleting the preference files, then there must be corrupt fonts (one or more) that are damaging the preference files each time they are built. Then it's very strange you didn't find the file /Users/your Font Book is active whether you open its control panel or not and is likely interfering with Suitcase. Have you removed Font Book from your system? Always have only one font manager on your computer at a time. They stayed deactivated as I clicked on 'em. Restart your Mac and let it boot normally. If you're using Suitcase Fusion, then in your user account, go to the ~\Library\Application Support\Extensis\ folder and delete the folder "Suitcase" there. This, assuming you're using Suitcase 9, 10 or 11 (X1). Once at the OS X desktop, navigate to the Preferences folder in your user account and delete the folder "Suitcase". Starting up in Safe Mode takes longer, so be patient. When you see the gray apple boot screen, you can let go of the key. Restart the Mac (or from cold start) and immediately hold down the Shift key. From the sounds of it, you'll need to start up in Safe Mode in order to do so. The Suitcase preference files are thoroughly corrupt and need to be trashed. But now Suitcase startup and is initializing forever.
