[QUOTE="Peakoverload, post: 339034, member: 27271"] A friend of mine gave me a disk with loads and loads of fonts on which I installed on my iMac. In total this gave me something stupid like 800 fonts and it also created a number of duplicates and a number that weren't totally compatible so I have just spent the last 3 hours removing all fonts that either I didn't like, didn't display correctly/were corrupt or were invalid and got the list down to something like 280. Just as I was about to leave it at that, Font Book crashed on me and now it says I only have 67 fonts and I'm missing a couple of the ones I use all the time like Verdana. I've looked in the trash and although there are hundreds of fonts in there I think I can only see the ones I wanted to delete. I've rebooted my machine but I just can't seem to work out what happened to the other 200+ fonts that I wanted to keep. Where could/would they disappear to? I know I could just install them all again but that's gonna take another 3 hours to delete all the duplicates etc again and quite frankly I can't face it! Any idea what may have happened and how to put it right? [/QUOTE]
