Postbox app suddenly asks for font Osaka

Yes, that what I meant. I click download, the fonts appear to install and then either immediately or shortly after they appear greyed out again as if not installed.

Here's the EtrecCheck report: I just did a basic report using the just checking option. Noticed a couple more issues flagged compared with the last time I ran

Thanks John

In fact both the fonts I mentioned are not on the list of installed fonts on High Sierra but are listed as available for download - except that the download doesn't seem to 'stick'. I've got a copy of Osaka on disk so have installed that and managed to get Yuanti to stay 'active' for long enough to track it's location down to the Library/assets/com_apple_MobileAsset_font4 folder so i could install as a user font. So far Postbox is starting without the warning - though weird it is asking for it when the need for it has been removed from the latest HS compatible version.

Right I've uninstalled Trusteer - my previous bank recommended to install but don't need now anyway I don't think.

I've installed the Osaka and YuantiSC fonts in local fonts so now not getting the demand for them when Postbox opens.

I've also removed the com.adobe.ARMDCHelper.cc24aef4a1b90ed56a725c38014c95072f92651fb65e1bf9c8e43c37a2 3d420d.plist

and com.parallels.mobile.kextloader.launchdaemon.plist

files out of Library a safe folder with so far no ill-effects ion restart.Text Wrangler has deprecated in favour of BBedit but I'd need to pay to buy that I think.

So EtreCheck now only reports the etc/host files as corrupt. I've had a peek at that and the file is empty! which I guess would explain the 'corrupt' label. There is a hosts~orig file dated 3.10.17 - before I migrated everything to my new iMac. I opened this in Text edit and it has:

##

# Host Database

#

# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface

# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.

##

127.0.0.1 localhost

255.255.255.255 broadcasthost

::1 localhost

i.e. not quite what's recommended in the Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file you linked me to but close enough. However the question is am I safe to place this text in the 'empty. hosts file - to do so I'd have to change permissions to read&write and I'm nervous about doing anything that might affect the system loading. I'm sure it wouldn't but I'm not enough of a techie to be sure. On my old mac running High Sierra the host file has exactly what I pasted above in it so If that works should be ok?

Thanks for all your support so far. Really appreciated and I'm learning loads

Thanks John. The terminal commands worked a treat. When I run Etrecheck as No problem

I'm getting no errors messages now. Interestingly if I run as Apps are Crashing the only thing marked in red is:

Top Processes by CPU:ⓘ

60% postbox-bin

17% WindowServer

2% kernel_task

1% hidd

0% BetterTouchTool

I know Postbox can be a memory hog by all accounts but it's so much better at composing professional looking emails than Apple Mail and I use email a lot with clients.

But postbox is still asking for Osaka if I deactivate that and Yuanti SC. Guess I'll have to live with it for now and just keep the fonts activated as local fonts. As I said before this didn't happen when I first installed on my new machine and doesn't on my old one so I'm guessing something I've installed or updated in the past week conflicts with Postbox and is running the demand for these fonts somehow. I've done a couple of minor AdobeCC updates and I think Firefox but not much else I can remember.

The only other off thing is that the available space on my hard drive fluctuates wildly from about 640Gb available to 520Gb - I'm assuming this is something to do with either the new APFS or how SSDs work - or maybe to do with Time Machine of Crash Plan storing temporary files during backup. Can't imagine that's to do with my problem anyhow

Thanks again for all you time and help.
