SUITCASE FUSION OS X LION INSTALL

SUITCASE FUSION OS X LION INSTALL

It might be easier to install OS X on an external hard drive and replace the corrupted fonts (that cannot be fixed) with the clean versions in the OS X (macOS now) install. If the corrupted fonts are among the fonts installed by OS X, then you may have to reinstall the system. You can also find replacements online, but they usually cost money. When I couldn't fix a font I looked for a clean version in my extensive font collections. That's the case with most things that get broken. In the past I have found corrupted fonts. Other times there are compatibility issues, though that's unlikely to be the case unless you're running OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard because this version of FontDoctor is compatible with systems back as far as OS X 10.7, Lion, which is rare these days. Some people's first reaction is to blame the software because that's easier than actually diagnosing the problem. That's often the case when software doesn't work. I suspect that if Font Doctor is crashing on you there is something wrong with your system that needs fixing. As it happens, I collected the fonts from AppleWorks 6 back in the day and there are Open Type versions of each of the bitmap fonts, so I replaced the bitmap versions with the otf versions and my installed fonts scanned clean. FD did find some bitmap fonts in my /Library/Fonts folder that had no matching PostScript version. Though because I've been using Font Doctor for so long (my oldest receipt is dated February 2002) I rarely find a corrupted font anymore. I've never had a problem with the basic functions of Font Doctor, including version 10.2.3.
