Should all these folders on the right be there? Like Pando Packages, RightFont, SoftMaker, Ultimate USB Specs, test.txt?

I think the best option now is to reinstall ElCapitan either from the USB installer I have made a while back or using restore.īut when I check the files and folders in my user account, there are files and folders in there that I don't think should be there.Īttached is a screen shot of the hard drive user folder from a 2015 back up (on the left) and the current 2019 one on the right Sounded good to me.except somehow the user library has disappeared.Īnd when I checked the system library, there was no Image Capture preference file although there was a system library folder. So when I googled to see what to do about the blurry scans with Image capture, the suggestion was made to trash the Image Capture preference file in the user library. Now the scans using Image Capture are suddenly blurry - they are still fine if I use the Epson Scan software. If there are duplicate fonts - typically you get TTF and OTF types - I only keep OTF (it's better).I was starting to have problems using image capture.Ī few days ago, the scanned images were suddenly save in my pictures folder insread of the folder on the desk top I had specified If I am dragging a font folder, into the fonts folder, I make sure to clean it up first.
Rightfont preference files download#
OK so now when I download fonts to the desktop I just drag and drop to this alias desktop folder. I created an alias of this folder and designed a cool ICNS font and the alias sits on my desktop. Since it's Dropbox it syncs across machines. All my fonts, whether in folders or just tons of fonts out of folders, is only in the Dropbox folder. This sounds scary, I know, but be assured that when RightFont then activates your fonts, they will be in your system to use in all apps - but RightFont is taking the place of FontBook to manage. I have deleted all User fonts from Font Book - don't need to add anything in there. I have a Dropbox folder called Installed Fonts. If I wanted to deactivate all except a few after I activated them all, it would seem like a lot of work.

If I wanted to install ALL of these Google fonts it would be a pain. Granted not all of them are great but some are widely used like for web like Roboto, Open Sans etc. Also Google offers 1443 fonts (733 families) of fonts which is offers for free! The issue with Font Book is that I had a mess with duplicate fonts, or in one machine I may not have had a font installed, and there is no cloud sync - each machine is on its own. Then I also have a desktop and a laptop, and organizing everything across different machines is a bit of a pain. First of all, as a designer like many of us here, I have thousands of fonts, and also I sometimes use Google Fonts, and since I have Adobe's Creative Cloud installed I also have TypeKit fonts. Also writing here because it works great in Affinity products. Here's my own review of RightFont, how I made it work for me, and my opinions of others including Mac's own Font Book - and why I think Font Book is lacking. In need of a Resume or Job Hunt services?
