Other Font Locations?
Authored by: 128K Mac on Jan 10, '02 02:54:18PM

Assuming a single user Mac is there some problem in not installing any fonts in /Users/Home/Library/Fonts?

In other wordsOK0e installed in /Library/Fonts and accessible to "all users."

Since Office X also loads all fonts in the System 9.x System folder when Classic is running is there any problem in having duplicate fonts to those in /Library/Fonts in the Fonts folder of System folder (or the various fonts folders in System/Applications Support/Adobe)?

I wonder if avoiding the ~Home/Library/Fonts entirely wouldn't be the simplest and obvious solution when a single user Mac is involved. Has anyone been able to detect a slowdown in Office X or an Adobe app like Illustrator X due to the duplicate fonts in System folder for 9.x?

Curious. :)
