Font problems
-
I am wondering if you could help me. I have a Macintosh LC 630 and bought a CD ROM of fonts KEY FONTSPRO to augment the choice of fonts from Microsoft Word. When I began to load the fonts I made the mistake of trying to load all of them onto the hard disk. I soon received a message that there were too many fonts for the space and aborted my request. I then loaded individually those that I would use most often but one font is behaving quite differently from the others. I want to remove this font from my list of choices and replace it. It loaded in the initial loading and defies all my attempts to remove it. When I attempt to Trash the particular font - Bodoni - I get the message - “The name Bodoni Recut… (bold, italic) 13 is already taken. Please use a different name.” I get the same message when I double click on the item in my list of fonts in the System Folder although other fonts I have loaded open to show details of the contents in the suitcase. I’ve tried renaming the font but this has not been successful. I’ve used Find File and am told I have only one file for Bodoni. Could you please tell me how to remove this font?
This is an odd question and I have never come across this before. Despite this there are two ways I would recommend that you could approach this problem. 1: Boot up off a boot disk or CD then try to delete the font. 2: Boot up off a boot disk or CD, drag the font out of the fonts folder to a different location (eg. Desktop), reboot, and then try to delete it. If all of this fails and you are really determined to delete this font backup your important files, format your hard disk and re-install your system software.
