weird os x issue: cut-off file names on desktop and the clock is almost superscripthttp://img.skitch.com/20100812-pxhm95bm8fxm8st3e56t2nrm28.jpg
I've created another account and logging out and into that one gets rid of the problem but how can I solve it on my main account?

dunno what's up with those icons either : /
Seems like a corrupted font problem
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 12 August 2010 11:06 (thirteen years ago) link
My thought too. Anythining in ~/Library/Fonts ?
― stet, Thursday, 12 August 2010 11:11 (thirteen years ago) link
using fontbook or 3rd party font management?
― dan selzer, Thursday, 12 August 2010 12:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Onyx is a good all-around maintenance tool that can clear your font cache
you can also open fontbook and see if there are any duplicated fonts

maybe u shouldnt have installed osx on your iphone

no fontbook or 3rd party font management; nothing obvious in ~library/fonts
will try onyx
― cozen, Thursday, 12 August 2010 13:55 (thirteen years ago) link
make sure you bacdafucup before messing with your system at all
― the disappearance of apollo creed (s1ocki), Thursday, 12 August 2010 13:56 (thirteen years ago) link
fontbook is the OSX font management program. If you're not using 3rd party management, you're using Fontbook. It sucks. Open it up. If you see any black dots next to fonts, you have a problem. Click on those and select "resolve duplicates". Sometimes these problems can be caused by something as simple as installing a program which installs a font which conflicts with a system font.

boom! thanks, perfect, that's fixed it. lucidagrande conflict
― cozen, Thursday, 12 August 2010 14:19 (thirteen years ago) link
If you ever need to work with more then a couple of dozen fonts, a font management program is required. There are a few major ones, I prefer Font Explorer X, which used to be free but is now 80 bucks:

Suitcase and Font Agent Pro and others do the same, people have their preferences. Font Explorer has a few issues as a relatively young program, but it's more robust and powerful while being easier to use then the other two, I think.

i guess the picture isn't really clear -- the status bar at the top of the screen that has time/battery/life etc etc just goes black so i can't really see anything unless i click on it, then it turns blue

nice timing on the thread revive, i just paid $200 for a new 3gs because replacing a shattered screen would have cost the same. wtf

Just as another data point here, I use FontCase and it's totally happy with the 16000K plus fonts I've got on standby.

Steve Jobs Stopped at Japan Airport Over Ninja Stars, SPA! Magazine Says
“Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction,” said Steve Dowling, a spokesman for the company. “Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon.”Takeshi Uno, a spokesman at Kansai airport, said a passenger using a private jet was stopped at the end of July for carrying “shuriken,” the Japanese word for Ninja throwing stars and other handheld blades. The passenger, whom Uno declined to identify because of the airport’s privacy policy, threw away the blades, he said. The airport doesn’t have separate boarding arrangements for private-jet users, Uno said.

what is the deal w/ itunes 10? its a downgrade in every possible way. dull colors, tacky font, and my album art size has been significantly reduced. "Large" artwork is literally the size of a quarter! im such a tool for not using foobar/winamp tho, i just can't really kick not using itunes, slow as it is.

i think the grand idea is that the desktop is a "server" or a place for storing digital stuff, while your iphone/ipad is the consuming medium. so fancying up the UI isn't necessary if it's not integral to the listening/watching experience.
i.e., YOU SHOULD HAS IPAD
― shaane, Thursday, 16 September 2010 21:29 (thirteen years ago) link
those bastards!
but then again, not that i've seen it, but i assume ipad music player is just a cover art flow? i find those incredible obnoxious. its only cool if you're trying to impress somebody with the immensity of your music collection, otherwise it's far too much swiping movements for what's needed.

Listening to John Gruber's podcast. It starts with a I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE USE ANONYMOUS INTERNET HANDLES THAT ARE NOT THEIR REAL NAMES AS THEY ARE NOT SIMPLE AND ARE COMPLICATED rant and moves on to a THIS IS WHY THE COMPLICATED AND UGLY TWITTER WEBSITE IS DESIGNED BY BABOONS bit and then I realise only five minutes of the hour and a half show have passed so I delete the download and wonder what the fuck I was thinking in trying to listen to Gruber's podcast.
