Okay people, let me first say that I was intrigued with the promise of fontbook. Indeed, it looks like the perfect solution for my long-dormant font collection, which has been on hold since I left the clutches of OS 9 many moons ago.
Alas, I am having loads of problems with Fontbook. Well, that may be an exaggeration, but here goes.
I am using "Add Fonts" from the File menu and batch adding directories of fonts. I am placing them into the system wide path so that everybody can share in the goodness of my font collection.
Anyways, eventually I get to a point where Fontboook just stops responding. I can't add anymore fonts. What's more, if I log out and log back in, all of the fonts that I have added do not show up in Fontbook. They are still present (having been moved into /Library/Fonts) but Fontbook just can't see them.
I'd really like to figure out what is happening. Is this due to some annoying font corruption? Are there some font gurus out there who can help?
