Can I remove and reinstall the font without records book?

On my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 FontBook operates as a two-bob watch - do not let me access policies in Freehand MX that are definitely in the font book, among other things. The operating system used on 10.6.3 and I upgraded to 10.6.8 via a Mac/PC independent shop, so I have no 10.6.8 discs (I have the original 10.6.3 discs).

Is it possible to throw the font book in the trash and the re - download online? Or I can reinstall it from my 10.6.3 drive...?

Thanks in advance!

To clarify, there was never a 10.6.8 released on record as an installable OS. You install 10.6.3 (the last version released of the snow leopard), then apply the 10.6.8 Combo Update.

What you see, is very typical of a corrupted font book database. Replace the app does nothing to remedy.

Follow 1 a or 1 b depending on the version of Mac OS X you have. If you can't find the com.apple.FontRegistry file in your user account preferences folder, then it is easier to use 1A rather than trying to dig through several hidden files.

1 a) restart your Mac and immediately press and hold the SHIFT key when you hear the startup chime for a safe boot. Now keep the SHIFT key until OS X asking you to sign in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot, even if your Mac automatically connect). Let the Mac has finished boot to the desktop and then restart it normally. You can release the SHIFT key right here. Yosemite is a little different. Whether a boot Safe Mode or a regular, you get the same progress bar. It takes just as long to reach the office in Mode safe. Then hold the SHIFT key until you get to the desktop. This will delete the font book database and cache files for the account you logged in Mode safe. Restart again normally.

1 (b) for a period of time, the font book database file, com.apple.FontRegistry, was buried deep in the private/var/folders/.../-Caches-/ folder. In later versions of Mac OS X, it is much easier to remove. Quit the font book. Open the Preferences folder in your user account, put the com.apple.FontRegistry file in the trash and restart. More fast than method 1 where you will need to restart twice. If you are using Snow Leopard, use 1 a method because this file is located in the private hidden folder.

Leopard or an earlier version, font sets, that you have created will be gone. In addition, all the fonts in the main three folders of fonts (System, library, your user account) will now be active, regardless of their status beforehand. In Snow Leopard, your games will remain intact.

    Thank you

    Oh sorry, you will need to obtain from another computer Windows Vista or your install disc (if you have one, these instructions are here).  I have just the zip and give you a complete file of fonts, but it's against the license (and technically to the United States law) for them to be distributed.

  • How do you properly remove and reinstall the hp 3210xi printer software in Vista after a bad installation?

    It is a repost to seek expert assistance from HP last week.

    Product: hp 3210xi printer.

    Operating system: Vista 64-bit.

    Errors: Several, especially related to the missing .msi TrayApp, status and DocProc files.  Some of them are on other Windows logon are call center solutions HP or by selecting the scan function.

    Changes: Do not change when the errors using the started HP Solution Center, probably after an update or install, but could not have used quite close to associate the change.  Print function has always worked without error and the analysis function is used less frequently.  Have tried repeatedly during the uninstalling and reinstalling.  Have used the System Mechanic to try to erase the registry HP errors reported.  Have seen some HP Solution Center errors before but have always been able to reinstall to remove.

    Problem: Cannot connect to Windows without error.  Cannot start HP Solution Center without errors.  The HP solutions Center opens and functions, but the text is missing.  Can't scan from the center of solutions without errors, but tests eventually work.

    Hi JohnZNC,

    There are a set of "scrubbers" that appear in your installation directory, which can carry out varying amounts of clean-ups/uninstall.

    The deepest is a "uninstall L4' and and is launched by exectuing the 'Uninstall_L4_64.bat' file (double click should suffice).

    These files are in the subdirectory '\util\ccc', is usually found in c:\program Imaging\ of Hewlett-Packard...

    Find the "Uninstall_L4_64.bat" file, then double-click on it to get the course of cleaning.

    Hope this helps

  • If I synchronize Firefox on my iPhone, can I remove bookmarks on the phone without deleting them from the computer at home?

    I don't want a large number of bookmarks 'House' on my phone. Can you separate the two?

    Hello

    You can't separate them, but you can remove them in Firefox Home without removing them from your computer at home.

    Firefox Home is just a customer and any changes it does not affect the rest of the devices.

    I hope that clarifies the situation.

  • XML parsing error fatal... Can I uninstall and reinstall DW CS4 without losing my job?

    I have a big problem with Dreamweaver CS4 for Mac. When I want to start DW I get this error that goes something like this: fatal XML parsing error: an invalid document structure, line: 1, file: / filepath/John Workspace.xmlPicture 1.png

    I click ok and get this:

    Picture 2.png

    Click on ok and close DW. It gives me no chance to change preferences or whatever it is.

    Picture 3.png

    It seems that I need to uninstall and reinstall. What do you recommend? Do I lose all the work I did on the previous sites?

    I don't think that there is no need to reinstall. Go to the specified location and delete Workspace.xml of John. Then try to run Dreamweaver. If Dreamweaver still will not start. remove the entire Configuration folder. Dreamweaver should then create a fresh Configuration file the next time you start.

    Reinstall without getting rid of the folder Configuration will achieve nothing, because the Configuration file is not deleted when reinstalling. If the Configuration file is damaged, the problems will continue until the corrupted file is deleted.

  • How can I select and delete the messages without you bird opening each as it is selected?

    Well, who said it... If I select a message, say, delete because the subject line says 'If you open this message, your computer will immediately infected with all known malware-' Oops! the configuration of Thunderbird just opened it.
    -I need to select for deletion without opening - I'm totally missing something?

    Close the Message pane by pressing F8, select the message with a single click on the left and press the delete of your choice or do a right-click and select Remove.

    FYI, Thunderbird does not allow scripts to run so if you do not open any attachments or click on the links you should be fine anyway.

  • How can I uninstall and reinstall the Narrator?

    How can uninstall and then reinstall Narrator in Windows 7? My Narrator is unstable. Not respond correctly or work with commands Insert + F.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the Narrator does not work properly. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

    1. The question is specific to Insert + F commands?
    2. Can you please explain more when you say, 'Narrator is unstable '?
    3. You did it no particular change in the computer before the show?

    As the Narrator is characteristic of the operating system, you are unable to uninstall/reinstall it. However, you can disable/enable it. We will try the methods below and check if the problem still persists.

    Method 1: Turn off and turn on the Narrator.

    Step 1: Turn off Narrator

    1. To open Narrator, click on the Start button , then, in the search box, type Narrator. In the list of results, click Narrator.
    2. Click control whether Narrator starts when I connect.

    3. Clear the turn on Narrator and turn on Audio Description check boxes and click apply.

    4. Restart computer and activate the Narrator.

    Step 2: Turn on Narrator

    1. To open Narrator, click on the Start button , then, in the search box, type Narrator. In the list of results, click Narrator.
    2. Select the checkbox Start Narrator minimized .

    The next time that you start the Narrator, he will appear as an icon in the taskbar instead of being open on your screen. To restore the Narrator to his full size dialog box, click Narrator in the taskbar.

    Method 2: If the Narrator is still unstable, run the System File Checker tool.

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    To do this, click Start, type command or cmd prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Not close this command prompt window until the audit is 100% full. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is completed.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • PDF fillable where the customer can add text AND change the fonts?

    Hello

    I would like to be able to provide my clients with editable poster templates. I created in InDesign posters, with a large white space in the middle where they can add their own texts, and when they're done, they can send them to the printer. The problem is, I just want to give them - in PDF print quality, so they don't mess up my share of the design (in addition, they are not sufficiently advanced to use indesign or illustrator or something like that).

    I tried implementing a PDF file using a text field, but it won't work. When the customer type in the text field, they will not be able to change the size of font, color, weight, etc.

    Is there some sort of 3rd party plugin that will allow me to create PDF files to fill live where the customer can indeed choose their fonts & things when they fill in their info?

    Thank you!

    Bernd: rich text only allows to apply bold, italic, exposing. It does not allow the user to make the text larger or to change the font.

    When I type ctrl-e in the area I can change the font and the font size.
