[texpoint-users] Font problems on OS X

[Andreas Glatz]

If Mac OS X encounters different versions of the same font it disables
them, but you can enable fonts in the "Font Book"
(http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/fontbook/).
(there are five different locations where Mac OS X looks for fonts:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106417)

Do you know which program installed the other versions in you home folder?
In case you had an older TexPoint installation and installed the fonts
there, they might be incompatible with the new fonts, since we changed
the fonts in a recent release.

I do not think there is an easy way to make fonts available only for a
certain application.
