Messing with fonts

June 30, 2005 | Software

Yesterday I used FontDoctor to clean up my fonts. I think I checked a few too many options, because today I'm getting screens that look like this:

Looks like a blog, doesn't it? I wonder what it says....

I guess I'll be testing the quality and reliability of my backups today.

[Update: Backups are good! All systems normal.]

What was the problem in the end?

I think one of the options I selected in FontDoctor was 'throw away bitmaps without a Postscript version.' So then all my web-ish fonts like Verdana were corrupted. Some fonts worked, some didn't....
