Q: Font book app isn't in fPermittedFrontApps

Hi,

 

I discovered, i had many duplicate fonts in fontbook & i guess it was due to mac office 2011. So, i decided to use the repair tool of fontbook and delete the duplicates. And as i was upset with office 2011 and deleted Office 2011 and it was a great relief.

 

I also verified the duplicates using fontbook. now, Fontbook does not show me any problems. All fonts are ticked in green.

 

I understood the problem was still here. Here is my system.log

 

28/02/2014 09:15:48,465 PluginProcess[382]: CoreText performance note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using name "Arial Unicode MS" and got font with PostScript name "ArialUnicodeMS". For best performance, only use PostScript names when calling this API.

 

 

28/02/2014 09:15:48,466 PluginProcess[382]: CoreText performance note: Set a breakpoint on CTFontLogSuboptimalRequest to debug.

 

 

28/02/2014 09:15:48,770 PluginProcess[382]: CoreText performance note: Client called CTFontCreateWithName() using name "Times Roman" and got font with PostScript name "Times-Roman". For best performance, only use PostScript names when calling this API.

 

 

i have decided to click on "Restore standard fonts" (or something like that because my mavericks is in french.

 

Unfortunately i get this error in system.log:

 

Application App:"font book" asn:0x0-39039 pid:415 refs=7 @ 0x7fb3f2642e40 tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontApps ( ( "LSApplication:0x0-0x3c03c pid=421 "SecurityAgent"")), so denying. : LASSession.cp #1481 SetFrontApplication() q=LSSession 100004/0x186a4 queue

 

 

So, if someone could help me to bring forward "font book" & restore "font book" to the default apple fonts i would be happy.

 

 

Thank you.

MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 8gb

    I think there is really no problem indicated by those core text performance notes and you should ignore them.

     

    Do you currently have any actual problem with any fonts or with Fontbook?

    I had problems with fontbook as i was unable to restore the original DEFAULT mavericks fonts.

     

    I decided to do it manually by copying my actual fonts to a backup folder on my desktop and replace them by the default fonts.

     

    To do so:

     

    • Open terminal
    • diskutil mount Recovery\ HD
    • hdiutil mount /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg
    • Go to system > Libray > Fonts > Base
    • open /library/fonts in another window
    • move all files to a "old fonts" folder at the root of your HD.
    • copy fonts files from system/Libray/Fonts/Base to /library/fonts Ensure the fonts are really in /library/fonts
    • In terminal type: sudo atsutil databases -remove (to clean font cache)

    Thanks for the explanation!

     

    system/library/fonts and /library/fonts normally have different fonts in them.  Did you wind up with the default setup shown in

    I found a simpler way to restore my fonts...

     

    It appeared the issue was related to disk permissions but Mavericks was unable to repair the permissions using Disk Utility in HD recovery or in Mavericks itself. user permissions errors came back over and over again.

     

    Here a sample of those errors that came back in my disk utility each i ran it.

    So i downloaded the command line ACLr8

     

    http://nomulous.com/goodies/ACLr8/

     

    I ran it and clicked yes. Then i ran Disk utilities and the ACL errors were gone.

     

    Then, i i went to the font book and i clicked got rid of the duplicates and clicked on restore and it worked.

     

    thank you.
