You can also place permanent copies of Courier and Helvetica in any of your hard drive folders listed in the next section. dfont version of Courier New also and use a standard PostScript Type 1 or PostScript OpenType copy of Courier instead. Despite its technically different name, "Courier New" conflicts with the PostScript "Courier". Then permanently activate Type 1 PostScript or PostScript OpenType versions of Courier and Helvetica with your font manager. You will need Administrative access to remove these two fonts. In Tiger and Panther, remove Courier.dfont and Helvetica.dfont from the dfont, a Type 1 PostScript or OpenType version. Any form of Courier or Helvetica will do to satisfy OS X's needs, whether they are the supplied. As mentioned above, Courier (for Panther and Tiger), Helvetica Neue (for Leopard) and Helvetica (all) must be present in some form. Here's an except of it that you need for your situation.Ĥ) If you work in a professional prepress environment, then this section will be important to you. I've been working on my font management article,įont Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther, to update it for Leopard. If you can help me better with more info, feel free to ask.
It makes the apps look a bit weird.ĭo I have to deal with this weird last option to work with my Type 1 font or is there a way to have both fonts activated, and be SURE the system uses the Apple's version for apps? Like is there a folder in which I could place my Type 1 font so FontBook (the Apple's font manager) will consider his TrueType font to be THE one to use for apps?
Now, I tried to switch from Apple's TrueType to any Type 1 or OpenType font simply by replacing the font in the user/Library/Fonts folder (I read this was possible to do, so I tried it), but it causes some applications to have their Helvetica Neue typing a little higher above the usual baseline than it's supposed to be. Can you imagine what it does to a layout if I let the Apple's version to override my Type 1 I'm used to work with? It wouldn't be so much of a problem if the fonts were REALLY the same: I noticed the one from Apple has a baseline set to be about 15% or 20% lower than my Type 1 version. The problem is mainly because I use a very elaborated Helvetica Neue Type 1 font for a customer (I'm a graphic designer) and it creates a font conflict problem with the one included and used by Mac OSX Leopard.
