Last night my fonts were showing in Illustrator/PS/Indesign but now only shows a basic selection.

My font book even after being cleared out still thinks and shows my old font history. I should not have them in my user/library/fonts, so now I only have them in HD/library/fonts.

Suitcase can reference fonts you have installed in locations others than the system Fonts folders (there are separate ones for all users and for each user), which means disabling those fonts won’t move them to a new location.I posted this below, but never had any replies or answers, I have since spoke to someone at the apple store who says: If nothing else works, you can have Font Book restore the default system fonts and move the others.ĭon is using Suitcase, so I’d use Suitcase to disable all non-Apple fonts before performing this operation. This prompts a warning, as it will move all non-Apple font files into a Fonts (Removed) folder without deleting them, and copy back original versions of fonts, including any that might have been removed unintentionally. If that still doesn’t help, you can use a sort of nuclear weapon: in Font Book, choose File > Restore Standard Fonts. You should quit Mail and launch it again, and if it doesn’t solve the problem, restart the Mac just in case there’s a caching issue. You can select those fonts and right-click on the selection to pick Resolve Duplicates, and then choose whether to resolve manually or automatically. If Font Book finds duplicates, you can resolve the problem manually or automatically. On my Mac, I had 15 minor problems out of 452 fonts, and the issue appeared to be duplication, which can sometimes cause the question-mark problem in question. Font Book shows a yellow yield sign for minor problems and a red stop sign for corruption. When it completes, review the list of problems. If you have a lot of fonts installed, the validation can take a while. Choose Edit > Select All (or press Command-A).Click All Fonts in the sidebar at left.
