The Tech of Font Man­age­ment on Mac OsX

If you desire to read a long arti­cle (mean­ing many words) filled with knowl­edge (lots of words you may not have known before) about how to man­age fonts on the mac. No pic­tures at all, lay­out is really … let’s say plain, but it is one of the very best arti­cle about the sub­ject of man­ag­ing fonts on the mac. Ok then, go at read: Font Man­age­ment in OS X, by Kurt Lang.

I know this is not for every­one, but it’s a must-read for sys­tem admin­is­tra­tors and peo­ple who deal with fix­ing macs. Still there are some new things that I hope will be dealt with next time Kurt updates the article.

Another good arti­cle, avail­able as a pdf is from Exten­sis, the mak­ers of Suit­case Fusion, Best Prac­tices for Man­ag­ing Fonts in Mac OS X . This arti­cle could and should also be updated too in the light of the lat­est changes in Snow Leop­ard font han­dling, but it is still a great read.
