DxO Optics Pro seemed to function OK when the font was missing, however.

I would have expected the Kaku and Mincho fonts to be very safe to remove. Otherwise, you can recover the font by reinstalling OS X.'įont Explorer Pro shows the font name 'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN' but in the Finder, what you see is this: ヒラギノ角ゴ ProN W3.otf, which made for a bit of confusion, but I did sort it out and activate it. If you still have this font on your system, you should re-enable it. This is an OS X system font that should never be removed or disabled. I e-mailed tech support and got a quick reply: 'One of the main fonts used in Optics Pro is named 'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN'. Not very helpful because it gave no indication of WHAT font was missing. I got an error message when launching DxO Optics Pro that a system font used by the application was missing. I also trim my system font folder, following your guide (thanks!), and recently encountered a minor 'gotcha' with my slimmed-down system font group. I can't read any type of Kanji characters, so why should I leave them? My eyesight is good, so what do I need any of the Braille fonts for? Absolutely be sure to look further down in that same first section for fonts that should not be removed from the root /Library/Fonts/ folder. That is the correct minimal font list for Mavericks in the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder. The first part is the minimum list for the System folder, and the second is the minimum list for the root Library folder. Be sure to pay close attention to both parts of section one. You can of course do this with Font Book, but the more fonts you have to handle, the more likely it is to choke.īy following the minimum font lists in my article, that's as lean 'n' mean as you can get the OS without crippling the OS X supplied apps, or making the web unusable. To me, 'heavy use' is having to manage numerous sets of client fonts each day, turning them on and off as required for each project. Up to you, but the first thing I'd do in Suitcase's preferences is to turn off the Vault.

Suitcase will automatically add all fonts in the System and root Library folders to its list.

See the bottom of section 6 in my article for the full instructions for removing Font Book, clearing its database, and clearing all current font cache data. It technically doesn't matter, but I would remove Font Book before installing your new font manager.

I understand that clearing out unused fonts is a big part of maintaining the Mac for a more streamlined atmosphere when running apps that offer fonts - Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Word etc., so I think this will be a help for my workflow. Most, if not all of these fonts were obviously installed with Font Book, since I would never have done so myself. Foreign languages, symbols etc., so I'd like to clean house a bit if possible. I have a lot of fonts that I will likely never use. As far as Mavericks is concerned, as long as I don't touch these fonts I should be OK, is that correct? I've bookmarked this ' Font Management in OS X' as a referral site. A lot of work on your part and much appreciated.
