    Font Management:

    1. Download Linotype Font Explorer X. (http://www.linotype.com/fontexp... Font Book on the mac is simply a font viewer and does not have the range of functionality that we require. Font Explorer X allows for deactivation and activation of font families as well as cache management.

    2. If you already have non-system fonts installed remove those fonts from Font Book. Delete the references to them in Font Book.

    3. Restart

    4. Move the non-system fonts into a folder in your Documents folder. This folder can be named anything you choose. Font Explorer X will ask for the location of non-system fonts during install. You will add these fonts to Font Explorer X at that time

    5. Install Linotype Font Explorer X and follow the onscreen installation instructions.

    6. Allow Font Explorer to manage your systems fonts and place them in its folder structure.

    7. If you are not prompted by Font Explorer X to clean your font caches please do so now by selecting Tools > Clean system font cachces followed by Tools > clean application font caches.

    8. Restart your machine.
