Go to your home folder in Finder. 2. Copy your Library/Fonts folder inside your home folder into your Dropbox folder. Be sure it all copied before moving on. 3. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities. Don’t worry. This won’t be hard. 4. Type sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Fonts and press enter. It will ask you for a password, type the password you use to login to your Mac. 5.

I'm not familiar with terminal commands and don't want to really mess anything else up. Could someone please help me direct it back to my internal Library/Fonts folder? [/QUOTE]
