Freehand ?

[gnubler]

Yes, but with anything else, we in prepress need to stay current on software.

Here is a link to the old free version if anyone needs it:

Chelle, you can clean the font cache with FEX after you install it. Requires system reboot afterwards.

Tell that to my Jew boss.

Oh - I wondered if I unloaded the fonts in that Library folder if FEX would then take care of everything, BUT I have the FEX open and the fonts loaded in THAT (no I didn't unload the other folder yet), and I cleaned the caches, rebooted and WOOHOO! I just printed one thing out of FH and the fonts work. Thanks, Joe and DCS. I love you guys! :kiss:

I don't believe he cares for coloreds.

Ah crap... Spoke too soon. Printed another file to check and that one DIDN'T work. Shoot. :cry:

Be careful what you unload from the system font folders. There are required fonts in there that if you remove them your Mac won't run. There is a list around here somewhere. Probably in the "Fonts" category.

I remember seeing that somewhere. I'll do a search for it. Thanks!

Don't move Geeza and Geeza Pro! You'll never use them, but the Macaroo likes them there. It's probably also connected to 2012 Winter Solstice.

here is a list of fonts that need to be permanently in your system fonts folder:

courier
geeza pro bold
geeza pro
geneva
helvetica
keyboard
lastresort
lucidagrande
monaco

empty out the library-fonts folder completely, and user-library-fonts folder.  i then made a alias of my user-library-fonts folder, and drag and drop fonts for each job i need, and simply drag them out and secure empty trash them when done.  then drag in fonts for the next job.  once we started doing that, that was the end of all our font issues.  over 5 years, no 3rd party font software, no issues whatsoever.  we do clean out font caches with onyx as mentioned earlier.

Thank you, Gnubler, Joe, Chris, DSC and everyone else who posted. I am at home right now relaxing with wine. (Big shock.) I will continue my font fest tomorrow. :grin:
