If you want even more control over font locations you can also mark duplicates from specific subfolders. That will select all fonts of a specific kind (when possible, always keeping at least one font).įinally the Location options allow you to mark fonts based on the location their imported from.įor example, you can use the System option if you prefer to keep your own imported user fonts over standard system fonts. If you’d rather want to manually decide which font kind you want to remove, choose one of the Kind options. OpenType fonts are preferred over TrueType, Woff2, Woff and PostScript Type 1 fonts (in that order of preference). The Automatic option decides which fonts to select based on font kind, advanced layout features and file type. Typeface will make sure at least one option of the duplicates is not selected for removal, so you’ll end up with one variant. If there are many duplicate fonts in your library it may be a lot of work to select all the fonts you want to remove.Ĭlick on Select Duplicates and choose one of the options from the dropdown to automatically select multiple duplicates. The marked fonts will be removed from Typeface. Note that if you choose Remove from Library the duplicate fonts may be imported again on next refresh, depending on the Import Duplicates Preference setting.Ĭhoose Move to Trash to move the font files to the macOS Trash. Typeface will ask if you want to remove the fonts from the Typeface library (and keep the font files), or move the font files to the macOS Trash can. Once you’ve selected the fonts you want to remove click the Remove button in the bottom-right corner of the panel. You can also Command-click or double click to select a row. Open the panel by choosing File > Find Duplicates….Ĭlick the checkbox to mark a font for removal. The Duplicates panel allows you to efficiently find and remove duplicate fonts.
#FONTBOOK RESOLVE DUPLICATES REGISTRATION#
Two fonts with the same PostScript name cannot be activated at the same time, that would be considered a font conflict.Ĭonflicts can cause all kinds of font registration problems, so Typeface will help you by notifying you and offering solutions when conflicts are about to happen.įor more information about font conflicts see Duplicate font conflicts. Removing duplicate font files not only allows you to save some space on your Mac, it prevents font conflicts from happening as well. The PostScript name does not contain spaces or other special characters.įor example the PostScript name for ‘American Typewriter Light’ is ‘AmericanTypewriter-Light’. Note that the PostScript name may not be the same as the display name, which is visible in the Typeface grid. You can find the PostScript name by right clicking on a font preview and choosing the Info submenu. The PostScript name is an internal name of a font that is used by macOS to identify fonts.
