Still struggling with this and can't figure out how to prevent my fonts
from disappearing. The workaround sometimes works, but sometimes I also
have to reboot and/or open Font Book. I can't determine exactly how to
consistently bring back my fonts, or why they are disappearing in the first
place. Any suggestions?
Bob, in response to your suggestion I installed the 'extrafont' package and
noticed a few warnings when I ran 'font_import' which may or may not be
relevant. Here are a few:
40: In grepl("^Weight", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
41: In grepl("^FamilyName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
42: In grepl("^FontName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
43: In grepl("^FullName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
44: In grepl("^Weight", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
45: In grepl("^FamilyName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
46: In grepl("^FontName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
47: In grepl("^FullName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
48: In grepl("^Weight", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
49: In grepl("^FamilyName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
50: In grepl("^FontName", text) : input string 4 is invalid in this locale
And here is the output of the second command (cleaner formatting here:
