Duplicate Fonts?
Authored by: rhowell on Jan 21, '05 08:43:53PM

What's with the duplicate fonts that get installed by iWork? If I open Fontbook, I have two instances of

Bradley Hand ITC TT
Party LET
Savoye LET
Stone Sans ITC TT
Stone Sans Sem ITC TT

Turns out one of each is an FFIL file, and the other is a DFONT file. My first thought is one is used for display, the other for print. But then i notice other new fonts like

Bank Gothic
Blackmoor LET
Bodoni
Jazz LET
Mona Lisa Solid ITC TT
Princetown LET
Santa Fe LET
SchoolHouse Printed A
Snell Roundhand

and probably a few others that only come as FFIL files, no duplicates.

Anybody else seeing this? Why the duplicates?

You already had copies of the DFont files. The FFILs are the newly installed copies. Presumably, you didn't have copies of BankGothic, etc.
