[ robg adds: I also hadn't realized that font changes were dynamic I've been quitting/relaunching apps whenever I made a font change. I'm not totally sure this works in all apps, but it looks promising. Word did not update its font list, but when I typed in the name of the font, it did change the text in my document. For the Adobe apps, it did take a second for the new fonts to appear, but when I pulled the fonts out of my font folder, they stopped showing up in the applications. To my surprise, it worked! So far I've tried it in After Effects, Photoshop, and Microsoft Word. Today, while at work, I though I'd try installing a font and see if it came up in the app while it was running. All of this was a pain, especially for those of us who do graphics work.
If a font was not in the Fonts folder when the application started up, it would not be loaded. Back in the day, if you were using a program and suddenly discovered that you didn't have the font you needed installed, you had to save your work, quit the app, and add the font to your system.
INSTALL FONT FOR ALL APLICATIONS MAC INSTALL
I don't know when this was introduced (10.3, 10.4,?), but it seems that you no longer need to restart applications when you install new fonts.įor those of you new to the Mac, I'll give some background. Here's another "WOW! I can't believe I missed that" hint.
