Why Font Repair?
Any person working with type can tell you that using a vast amount of fonts can be a creative reward or a daunting challenge. At Macprofessionals, we help our clients put the joy back into type. We provide a variety of font management services to fit your
specific needs.

From the early age of the written word to the era of digital typography, displaying type has been considered an art form in itself. But wrangling the dizzying amount of typefaces available today, with differences in versions, family, and foundry —
coupled with common conflicts and corruption — can give any designer a headache. Font problems are known to be root cause of several major computer issues and can leave your creative staff unproductive and wasting time dealing with font issues.  This was a giant issue with pre OSX operating systems and still is a very large issue with  the Mac OS.

Macprofessionals can help. Our specialists will assesses your font issues and create a management plan to optimize your type assets, and help put the joy and the profit back in using fonts.
     
Font Library Cleanup
...what’s involved

Fonts are obtained from the customer on CD/DVD media or by means of a USB flash device, or collected on site by a our engineers.

Fonts are diagnosed and organized into new directories. Damaged font files are replaced with known-good versions or removed for examination by the customer.  Organized fonts are then verified for system/font conflicts.

A Macprofessionals engineer will determine the type of font management software present onsite (if any) and the nature of font usage in the environment, and make recommend-ations for optional usage.

Macprofessionals may make recommend-actions for font management software.

The optimized set of fonts is installed on all computers or on the font server and verified. A disk image of the clean set is stored in a designated location at your location.

The engineer will discuss best practices for handling fonts that are “new arrivals” from your customers or from font foundries.

Macprofessionals makes no attempt to verify ownership or licensing of typeface products. It is assumed that all fonts obtained are owned by the customer or customers. License verification service is available as a separate product.
