[QUOTE="cradom, post: 280859, member: 305283"] If you haven't messed with the fonts in /Library/Fonts you should be ok. You don't need them in ~/Library/Fonts. If you copied the system fonts to your user library, you now have duplicates, which could be screwing things up now. Trash all fonts in your user lib and install your new ones there. If you have deleted fonts from the system lib, only way I know to get them back is: Possibly using Pacifist to reinstall from the OS install cd/dvd.. or Reinstalling the system. Note: There are actually 3 places to find fonts... /System/Library/Fonts these are the Apple system fonts - don't mess with these, don't install here! /Library/Fonts user installable fonts available to all user accounts /Users/(your name)/Library/Fonts where you should install fonts just for your use You can use Font Book to check for duplicate fonts, just don't disable the system fonts.
