Hi there, Every time I write a few lines of text and then attempt to select a font from the type menu the program crashes and quits immediately. Has this happened to anyone else, and does anyone know why?? Cheers, anna

Hi jm, thanks for this - my address is anna.chopping at skirt and the extension for the mail address is dot uk dot com cheers for now anna x

Hello all, About a year ago I bought an imac G5, that I suffered many a late night trying to force Fontbook to manage all the fonts I use... and then I posted my problem up on here and someone amazing forwarded me a pdf of 'how to manage fonts in OSX' document that detailed exactly how to...

Hi, This may be a really basic question... but I've not used Illustrator to do this before and am wondering if it possible; in Quark Express when you import a grayscale tif image you can choose the background and foreground colours of it and it changes all the grey/black for the foreground...

brilliant jm, thanks : )

Started with Fontbook - started having problems so switched to Suitcase - then had major problems.... so reinstalled everything (all system software) and went back to using Fontbook. I have installed Font Finagler following the advice of a few different people - but I don't think it's anything...

I have very recently bought my imac G5 and have installed OSX Panther with the update 10.3.8 onto it. I am a graphic designer, have installed Adobe CS, quite a few fonts, a printer driver and MSN messenger... nothing revolutionary or dodgy. The computer is taking almost 2 minutes to start up...

thanks jm will do. x

well, you'll be able to have a good laugh at this one.... so I followed exactly as you did - copied all the fonts into one folder, then placed that in Classic System Folder, and then - like an idiot, thought "hmmm, when jm said 'Ditchall the present collections' I suppose he meant all existing...
