#Font missing in fontbook install#

Apple must have changed something in one of High Sierra's updates, and actually managed to make matters worse.

#Font missing in fontbook install#

What is 'them'? I would imagine the five fonts in question, but installed from what source? What installed the fonts to your user account Fonts folder? The OS will never install any fonts there. I've read all of the topic, but your notes keep changing, or don't fully describe what you're doing. The next Sierra update broke them again and the issue hasn't been fixed since. It was fixed in a late beta of Sierra, and into 10.12.1. I've reported this issue to Apple a couple of times since it appeared back in El Capitan. Remove the fonts with the original names. The steps you first posted is what needs to be done. 'They' being what? The originally named fonts? If so, no, they won't show up in Font Book. They were copied to my user fonts folder, but they are still not showing up in Font Book. Since they didn't match, they were considered third party fonts. They were removed because the copied desktop names of the fonts don't match the list the OS uses to determine if they should be taken out of the Fonts folder. I guess it no longer considers them 'standard', even though they came with my system. I ran 'Restore Standard Fonts', and it removed them.

After creating the 'copy' fonts, you must remove the originals. The issue is they have the same internal names, so they conflict with each other. Yes, because the copied fonts are duplicates. When I tried to 'install' the fonts, I got duplicate errors.
