Font problems

Those of you who have met me know that the first half of my career involved graphic design.

The tool of choice for graphic designers remains a Mac computer.

I recently made a life change that means my main daily tool is once again my beloved Mac. (Yay!)

As a designer, fonts are important.

One of the pain points of most of the applications on my Mac is the list of long fonts. For some of them, to choose an appropriate font means scrolling through a long list.

Font Book is a built-in Apple app that lets users manage their fonts. It allows you to disable some of the fonts. Then they won’t appear in your font list. But many global fonts and useless obscure-styled fonts are not removable.

Life is never perfect.

  1. I wish I still had a long list of fonts, but now that Type 1 fonts are no longer supported I lost a lot of the more obscure ones. On the other hand, the ones I can no longer use were not used much anyway, so I guess it’s not really that much of a loss. Just a little irritating!
