Reinstalling fonts

ronniebellie · 02-19-2011, 09:57 AM

When I open iWeb and Keynote, it always says the Cochin font is missing. I think I deleted it a couple of months ago accidentally, but I'm not sure. How do I reinstall that font?

It will be on your OS installer disk. I don't think (though I may be wrong) that you can reinstall only the fonts; so you will need to download the excellent Pacifist utility to browse the contents of the installer packages and find the font and install it.

Your best bet would probably be to use Pacifist to re-install the font from the discs which came with your computer. While this situation isn't leading to extreme consequences, it's generally considered risky to delete fonts which are installed as part of Mac OS X.
