iCal is by far the best CalDAV client out there, iMovie is a really great consumer video production app (people usually get frustrated with it because they are trying to use it as a pro-app, which it gets close to), and Safari is very competitive in the browser space (and it usually comes down to personal preference what is best).į: Still with the attitude. All of the apps you name are great apps (award winning even) in their consumer fields. Check them with the "Validate Font" menu item or better yet validate each of the font folders with "Validate File." (it will happily run recursively on folders).Į: Another case where your attitude gets in your way. But some glyphs might only occur in combination with specific other glyphs.ĭ: You probably have bad fonts. Think of it like a control panel (which I think it should be).Ĭ: My guess is through the Topography panel accessed through the normal Font panel. A font (file) can only be in a single library, but in multiple collections.ī: It modifies system setting for fonts. Collections are selections of fonts across libraries. They are the repositories of the actual files.

But don't ever tell people who you expect to help you for free what your terms for that help are.Ī: Libraries store the fonts in them. I am sure that there are plenty of professionals in Apple's Consultant Network who would be happy to help you for a fee. If that is what you want then go pay for it. You are asking for free advice, because you don't know something, and then want only expert advice. ical, imovie, safari, etc.) or should i continue pursuing it?įirst off, you have a real attitude problem.

Is this just another crappy Mac app that is best left alone. Is it normal to have to force quit constantly, even with only minimal number of installed fonts?Į. How do I access the alternate gliphs that are shown in the repertoire view?ĭ. Does it need to be launched when in use or does it run in the background, should set it to launch automatically with the system?Ĭ. What is the difference between a "collection" and a "library" in Fontbook, there seems to be exactly zero, since one does not subset into the other?ī. (fontbook>preview>reportoire)Īfter perusing the many google finds on Fontbook and getting more and more confused, I decided to just start clean and ask any of you Fontbook x-sperts out there the following:Ī.

I was happly supprised because it has a couple of new functions that I would REALLY like to have fer-instance it now:ġ. so one day I stumbled upon Fontbook (again, this time in 10.5.7) and decided to give it another looksee since the last time i reviewed it in os9 or so, anywho. I have used Suitcase for a long LONG time and am always amazed when I open it how limited it is. Sorry, I could not make it any more terse in order to address all my specific queries. I'll give FontBook a good rating because it does what it is intended to do and that very well.Hi and welcome to my thread on Fontbook. Note that this app is from a well established developer, Lemke Software, the creator of Graphic Converter, which I have been using since 2001 with OS 9, even if I didn't see FontBook. For that Font Book provides the basics, including font previews, font sets, font integrity checks and the ability to turn fonts on and off. And as someone else said, it's not a font manager nor does it pretend to be. Still, it bears no resemblance to Apple's Font Book, despite the similar name.

It has a wide variety of layout styles to choose from, which might suit someone compiling a type book. That said, if this app provides a service you need, then it really doesn't matter what the name is. Some of the more expensive font managers provided some type book options, though not nearly so many as FontBook. It was quickly adapted for OS X, the first version being compatible with X 10.1.5. Still, I don't remember seeing it back then. So Apple stole the name and added a space. I checked the Limkesoft website and it's true, FontBook was available before OS X there is a classic version for OS 8.6 through OS 9. Font Book has been a part of OS X from the beginning.
