Mountain Lion + Pages = FUBAR Fonts?

Psyberpunk · 07-29-2012, 03:19 PM

So upgraded to Mountain Lion and now when I go into Pages my document fonts are all bunched up and look awful! The font in question is called Century 725... has anyone heard of this type of problem?? any suggestions for getting it working again??

Thanks much!

1. There's an update to Pages for ML, but it's mostly to do with new features.
2. Have you tried clearing the font cache? Use Onyx or there are plenty of webpages detailing the Terminal command.

Also, use Font Utility to check and repair your fonts, and check for duplicates.

Yeah, thanks... checked for errors or duplicates but nada

I like the suggestion to clear your font cache using Onyx.

One other thing you can do is to see if the font corruption shows up in another account. If it does, your problem is system related (probably the font itself, or the cache). If it does not, the problem is within that account.
