Install and remove fonts without restarting apps
Authored by: mayo2ca on Aug 03, '05 01:18:38PM

This works since 10.3. 10.2 didn't do this, if I remember correctly. I recall reading up on the changes they did to the font server when 10.3 was released, and this was one of them.

Yes this wasn't a feature in 10.2. We got this feature at the same time we got FontBook. Dynamic loading of fonts can be a bit wonky in some applications though, especially Adobe ones.

mayo2ca - you're right - except it wasn't a stanard function until 10.2 came out_

10.1 never had the function - at least as a default_ There may have been some unix command to activate it - who knows_ Since 10.0 came out I've been pissed that Adobe refused to port ATM Deluxe to OS X - but since 10.2 - font management has gotten easier and easier_ 10.3 they improved it more and 10.4 so far seems to be even better_ But I haven't jumped into any layout projects since I upgraded to 10.4 - so I haven't had a chance to play with it yet_

WTF people!!!!!!!!!!!

why are you using FontBook when there are so many apps out there that do the job much better? seriosuly, i want a reply. i signed up just b/c this thread pissed me off so much. why are you using FontBook?

Suitcase has had this feature since 10.2 at least, or sooner.

why are you even letting FontBook touch yer fonts? you are asking for trouble.
