The thing about the 'remove' and the 'disable' is that they really don't do what you need them to do.

I use FontExplorer X Pro there're other alternatives too. Regarding the error of dfontsplitter look if these links are useful:Īnother solution is to use an alternative to Font Book to enable/disable fonts as needed. Moreover, you should keep the old suitcase for all the archived works you've already done.

If the fonts are really identical wouldn't be simpler to start using the system fonts (light) and add the bold variants? Yes, this means that you've to buy (partially again, given that you probably already bought the suitcase years ago) two fonts.Īnother downside is that you've to check if the new fonts really match the graphical results (kerning, line-spacing, tracking, etc.) in your layouts (InDesign, XPress or whatever graphical software you are using). Maybe with FontForge – an open source software to create fonts – it's possible to open a suitcase, remove some fonts and export again a new suitcase.

Nowadays there're free on-line converters – I doubt they're accepting suitcase fonts, though. I did convert them in the past to TTF through commercial softwares (font converters like FontXChange and TransType). I don't use suitcase fonts anymore (switched to OTF/TTF years ago) and never modified a suitcase. Does it work better than moving the fonts? If you right click a font in Font Book you should see a 'disable' option (not for system fonts, of course). Is there some technical term that font gurus use to talk about this problem? If I search on the right keywords will it get me lots of illuminating and educational stuff?) (I can't believe that this isn't a common problem with fonts, but a google search doesn't return much. ('Can't find an appropriate resource fork in ') Is there any way to edit the font suitcase file to remove the two Helvetica Lights and just leave the Blacks? I found a free tool dfontsplitter that claims to be able to split font suitcases, but it gives me an error message.

Is there some way to disable the two fonts so that they stay disabled? The duplicate warning is a nuisance, which I can eliminate by disabling the two Type 1 Light fonts in FontBook, but if I move the fonts out of the Fonts directory and then put them back they get turned back on. Should I care about the override? (To my eye the Type 1 and TrueType fonts function identically.) They show up in FontBook as yellow triangle warnings, and of course the system fonts are getting overridden by the Type 1 fonts because that's the way OS X works. If they have 'Helvetica Light + Black' (and the 4 postscript files of course) in /Library/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts then the Lights are duplicates of the system fonts. They use Helvetica Black in their work (seem rather fond of it!) The problem is that Helvetica Light and Helvetica LightOblique are both system fonts in /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.dfont. Some graphic artists in my company have a font suitcase installed on their machines in a file 'Helvetica Light + Black' and it contains 4 Type 1 fonts - Helvetica Light, Helvetica LightOblique, Helvetica Black, and Helvetica BlackOblique.
