I read an article saying that Microsoft Office will move Apple fonts with the same name as theirs to Fonts Disabled.How To Download Fonts On Mac Os X By smaloslaupar1988 Follow | Public I think they came in when I installed Microsoft Office 2011. Neither user account has anything in their Fonts Disabled folder. HD/Library/ Fonts Disabled = 16 Fonts 66mb Some, but not all, of the fonts in a user's folder are in the HD/Library/Fonts folder. None of the fonts that are in one user's folder are in the other user's folder. Non-Administrator Account/ Library/Fonts = 78 Fonts 84.1 mb Hard Drive/Library Fonts = 227 Fonts 835.2 mbĪdministrator Account/Library/Fonts = 90 Fonts 85.9 mb so, I probably should ignore them (assuming I can find them).Ī search with Font Book and Finder shows me the following (not counting system or Adobe fonts): And, I have no knowledge of special Adobe fonts for Reader, Photoshop Elements, etc. Of course, I will leave any fonts in system folders alone. Plan B- Copy fonts from each user's Font folder to the other user's Font folder so they match? (Of course, I hate to waste disk space duplicating.) Will it cause long boot time or program opening time?

This will leave each user's Fonts folder empty. All programs have been installed while logged in as Administrator.Ĭan I move (by drag-and-drop) all of the fonts from each user account's Font folder to the HD/Library/Fonts folder so that all users can use all fonts or, will this cause slowdowns or other problems? I have no idea how this came about because yesterday was the first time I ever looked in Fonts folders or opened Font Book app. A few examples are Bank Gothic, Copperplate, Bookman Old Style (UserName/Library/Fonts)įor example that when logged in to the administrator account and using Turbo CAD, I do not have some of the fonts I have when logged in to the non-administrator account. They're only in one or the other user's folder. The situation is that not all fonts are available to all users because some are not in the HD/Library/Fonts folder. I tried searching & reading to figure this out, but found much conflicting information. Today's question concerns making fonts available to all user accounts. I use a MacBook Pro 3,1 with OS X 10.6.8.
