Font Book

one more thing. When my wife installed the fonts, it was done via a CD she burned. Font book said several fonts were damaged, etc and did not install them...OK good. ...

BTW way we used Font Book to "manage" the fonts on the system....? ...

Wow! I just imported 6000 fonts and it's speedy as hell - the same can't be said for Font Book (or Suitcase). It did crash when I removed to of my fonts that got landed in ~/Library/Fonts and were active, but since then it's been behaving amazingly well. I'll post back how it's holding up in Leopard.

Thanks for the advice.

I've read that when a problem arises in a users account and does not show up in another, then there is something wrong with that users account that's experiencing the problem. It's usually corrupted Fonts, Caches and/or Preference files that is the culprit. Validate the Fonts. Open Font Book, choose All Fonts under Collection, Choose the first Font on the list, then use the...

I dont think ALL of them are in one place. The only place i see all of them is in Font book

I dont' know how Font Book works. None of my fonts are listed in it. I opened Word, and all my fonts are available including Helvetica Neue. Does this mean iphoto should see this font? ...

Also, open Font Book and verify you have Helvetica Neue installed.If it isn't, you can install it with Pacifist and your OS X disk. ...
