I'm transferring from an early model G4 to a new computer running
Tiger. And have managed to cause a mess with my fonts. There are two
types of fonts: protected system fonts and essential system fonts.
The "essential fonts" are in the HD library file. I put my old fonts
there as well, wanting them to be accessible to any user. When the
installed and my own fonts were mixed together, my computer began to
run slowly and some apps choke altogether when loading. MS Word won't
open at all. I ran a font utility scan and apparently I have some
pretty corrupted fonts. I'm worried that font issues will wreak havoc
with my computer in other ways.
I didn't back up the original Tiger-installed fonts file, so I don't
know how to put things back the way they were. But, I did make a file
in Font Book with the original Tiger-installed fonts [the good ones].
Is there an easy way to replace the backup Font Book file with the
fonts in my Font Book hard drive file? By deleting the HD fonts file,
even for a few seconds, in Font Book order to clear the file out and
transfer the backup file fonts in there [the good fonts], will the
temporary deletion cause my entire computer system to go blooey?
Unfortunately, I just don't understand much about the technical side
of fonts, and I'm afraid of making things worse for myself. I have no
budget for software, so need to find manual solutions.
Thanks,
Kimi
