Is there an easy way to delete all non-system fonts, without having to select them one by one and deleting them?
Can I just select them all and say "delete" and the Mac will know not to delete fonts it needs?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Font Book application, then from the Font Book menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Actually, I did that before posting this question, (minus the backup), and there are still a zillion fonts in Font Book. I think that just makes sure the original system fonts are still loaded, but does not remove non-system fonts. At least it did not remove mine.
The good news is, the reason I wanted to remove them has been solved without removing them– I installed a program called FusionPro and it seemed to get hung up when loading my fonts. I contacted the company that makes it and they told me how to get it to load all fonts. No more hang up.
How do I delete all non-system fonts?
