Uninstalled Suitcase and tried to put the fonts back in /Library/Fonts. Turned off Suitcase, but nothing changed in Illustrator. Tried forcing Suitcase to activate the grayed fonts, to no avail. Today I attempted to add a font to Extensis Suitcase and it quit working-suddenly 3/4 of my fonts in Illustrator are grayed out. Has anyone else experienced this in OS X and know what’s going on? I’d really like to use LibreOffice but need to be able to access my fonts.Okay, I'm hoping someone here can help me resolve my font nightmare. There are also a few aspects to the responses that I confess to not understanding, but I don’t think I’m missing anything germane therein. I also dumped preferences “” and “.plist” and cleared all font cache files, as apparently Sierra seems to be having some of its own problems with fonts working in some and not other applications, because of how the OS and apps are using Unicode.Īs mentioned I’ve gone through quite a bit of looking for solutions, but didn’t find anything similar enough to extrapolate a fix.
I’ve tried quitting and restarting LO quitting all and restarting the computer and ditching LO and reinstalling it. By the way I cannot located any of the Libre fonts on my HD. But not my User fonts from ~/User/Library/Fonts. (Of course, you can only disable certain of the Computer fonts those fonts that are root System fonts (Macintosh HD/System/Library/Fonts) cannot be “managed” as such.) So the fonts that live at ~/System/Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts–along with LO’s own fonts like Liberation Sans and Linux Libertine–are functioning fine within LO. I can enable and disable the Computer fonts in Font Book, and they subsequently activate and deactivate correctly and accordingly in LO. Most of my User fonts are Postscript fonts, though a few might be Opentype, but from what I’ve read that should not be a problem anymore as Libre now supports OTF. LO is only displaying my active or enabled “Computer” fonts, as opposed to “User” fonts, which are those added to FB by me.
But this problem continues to stump me after trying a number of things and reading through the forum here.
Thus I am not new to problems of font management in different applications. I used to design and lay out books so I have a considerable collection of typefaces I used to manage them in Extensis Suitcase Fusion, but switched to Font Book when I no longer needed more robust font management. From the very little I’ve seen it looks good and I’d really prefer it to Office or Pages.Īfter installing LO and launching and opening a blank Writer doc, I quickly discovered that LO/Writer was not recognizing or accessing my active/enabled User fonts, which I manage in Font Book. Had never used LO before, but had recently started using LibreCAD and really liked it, and thought I would make the switch to an open-source office suite, which I had been thinking about doing for some time. 5.3.2.2) for the first time on my new MacBook Air (running Sierra 10.12.4). I just downloaded and installed LibreOffice (v.
