Reply To: arrgghh Fonts! please help!

Hi all, thanks for your responses

@David – nope have not tried rebuilding preferences – how would i go about doing that?

@Karma – thanks for that, i've not really used Terminal before but will give it a go….i asked our IT guy about using a utility to clear the caches and is reluctant to let me incase it wipes my whole machine/network or something crazy. Is OnyX something that would clear them? I downloaded that when i last had this problem but didn't end up needing to use it….

@mckayk777 – yep have put in a request for FontExplorer so we shall see!

Our IT guy is suggesting i copy all my fonts into

user/library/application support/adobe/fonts

am guessing that would work like placing them into indesign font folder works – but just seems like a round-about kinda way to me when it should just read fonts from the HD or user library so don't really want to give up as such and do that….am also guessing it would make CS4 pretty slow with 1000 fonts added in there!

Thanks again for your help, its much appreciated
