EditBy In this essential ebook, long-time Mac author Sharon Zardetto reveals all the Details about how fonts work in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. She explains what Folders your fonts reside in, in what order they load, and how to deal with font duplication. You'll also learn the ins and outs of different font installation methods; how to use Font Book to manage, validate, and organize fonts; how to make the most of character-rich Unicode fonts; and more. Whether you work in a font-intensive profession, use Unicode fonts for non-Roman languages, or want to wrangle the numerous fonts that have ended up on your Mac, you need this ebook. It's utterly astonishing that the Macintosh, a computer platform whose initial claim to fame was not just its interface but its use of different fonts, celebrated its almost-20th Anniversary with an operating system that totally ignored the importance of fonts, pretending the difficulty—or total inability—to install and manage fonts didn't matter. As a Mac fanatic from way back (1984, to be PRECISE), I hate to admit that it took Mac OS X years to get its act together concerning fonts, and that I also totally ignored the issue for as long as I could. I know I felt frustrated; I think I also felt insulted. But that's well in the past. Under Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, fonts became manageable with Font Book, and their Unicode-inspired wealth of characters and advanced typographical features became more accessible. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard brought a smarter Font Book (with font auto-activation), a sturdier approach to fonts (no more corrupted caches), and another step toward all-round advanced fonts (Mac TrueTypes replaced by Windows TrueTypes).
