Hello Mac Experts ..

Sometimes as a troubleshooting step .. it is recommended to move your user font folder to the desktop. This is supposed to identify if the problem is font related ..

What I"m wondering is ... if the issue is a font in your users folder ... then what do you do about it?

Can you delete the folder you have moved to the desktop and then the user font folder is rebuilt automatically somehow or what ??

Thanks a lot ....

The only thing I've read is to reinstall fonts one at a time back into the fonts folder ... and see which one causes a problem

Isn't there an easier way ... other than buying an expensive font diagnostic?

Instead of doing a linear search (one at a time), you do a binary search (half at a time). This can SIGNIFICANTLY cut down on how long it takes to find a bad font file in a large group of fonts. Keep in mind, though, that there may be more than one bad font.
