#FONTEXPLORER VS SUITCASE FUSION MAC#
When you go into FontBook, you can turn off the user's fonts while leaving the system fonts on, a nice management plus.īe aware that mac programs (especially mac programs that have been around through multiple iterations of the operating system and multiple operating systems) are annoyingly adept at finding and loading fonts that you don't want them to see. If you've got lots of fonts in any one place, then it makes sense to divide and organize via subdirectories. If you have more than one account on the machine, and the different accounts all need some fonts, and each account needs some fonts that the others shouldn't see (like there are conflicts, for example) then the organization is obvious - put the fonts everybody needs in /Library/Fonts and the individual fonts in the individual Fonts folders. (Pandering works around here, right?)ġ) Yes, you absolutely can have subdirectories in the various Fonts/ directories, and I'd go insane without them!Ģ) Don't mess with /System/Library/Fonts.ģ) How you allocate your own personal workflow determines how you use /Library/Fonts vs /Users//Library/Fonts. Thanks again! I (virtually) bow to your vast knowledge.

When I finish, would I just delete everything, then copy my altered version (including some renamings) into place (w/ or w/o folders - tbd)? Or is there a proper way to remove and replace fonts than just moving to trash?

2) I've been working (I've already started with a small folder elsewhere) with a copy of the font directories. My questions are 1) can you have folders inside the font library folder the system draws from (for organization purposes)? I ask because there are none in there. So, even though it's a giant pain and extremely tedious, I think I'll manually edit and remove unnecessary fonts to pare things down and organize them in apps like Adobe CS5. Furthermore, they all (including the native FontBook) sandbag my system and grind it to a crawl.

#FONTEXPLORER VS SUITCASE FUSION SOFTWARE#
I've tried a couple of the management software (Suitcase Fusion and FontExplorer X) and haven't been able to work with them the way I'd hoped. I've recently taken up comic book lettering and as such, have acquired a massive amount of fonts.
