Why are my fonts not showing up in applications?
Hi
I'm having some wierd things happen with fonts. My Font Book shows that fonts are installed, validated and should be working properly. But they are not showing up as available in applications. I get the same list of ~25 core fonts available, when I have close to 400 in the HD/Library/Fonts folder (no fonts in the user font folder).
Situation get stranger when I get into the permissions of fonts. I've been troubleshooting thinking it's a permissions problems. I'll restart the computer and get a random list of 100 fonts that show in Word and PS. I'll change the permission of a font (that is in the font book) to allow read/write permission for my current admin user, then relaunch the application and the list of 100ish fonts goes back to the default list i spoke of above. I'll restart and the applications return to the list of 100 fonts, but the font with the newly changed permissions is not in the list.
I've tried removing and reinstalling a font - no luck or availability in apps.
I've tried repairing permissions with disk utility - no luck.
I've tries using Onyx app to clear font cache - no luck.
I've tried searching for .lst files to clear adobe font cache, but can't find the files - plus the issue is in Word too, so i'm thinking it's a system issue.
From my research, I'm also thinking it has to do with the migration of files/user from another computer to this one, with a new install of Mavericks. I migrated files over with Apple migration tools. Might there be something there with user permissions assigned to the way fonts behave or are accessed by apps?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
