10.3: Avoid a Safari and Mail slow down due to fonts
Authored by: wfolta on Oct 30, '03 01:07:35PM

I've noticed huge slowdowns in some programs in 10.2 and 10.3.

In 10.2, LiveType took literally minutes to start up. I have 800 fonts, so I turned of almost all of them in 10.3's Fontbook and not LiveType starts up in good time. BUT Fontbook takes several minutes to start up.

Who knows, it could be a corrupt font, but how would I find it among 800? Fontbook detected two dozen duplicates, but that's not directly the issue since I disabled 780 or so of the 800 fonts.

Download FontDoctorX, it's demonstration mode allows to scan for damaged fonts, the rest of the features don't work, but this one does.

I had accidently loaded my entire font library in FontAgent Pro and it brought Safari to a standstill. Also Font Book is cool, but even in the best circumstances way sloooowwww.
