Mac OS X. Fonts. Font Caches. ERRR! Having the forementioned as part of my daily grind, enough is enough and frustration sets in! Having dealt with font cache issues in every versions of Mac OS X, Tiger seems to have topped them all. So I made a tool to make my life easier.
Solution? FontNuke.
FontNuke is a utility application for Mac OS X Tiger that removes corrupt / troublesome font cache files. I created this application as a tool for my personal use at the office, and has become very useful for me. To grant individual non-admin users the ability to remove font cache files, without my involvement--is HUGE! Not to mention intelligent application quitting, plus a GUARANTEED reboot, makes my life easier.
I formerly had shell scripts installed on my clients, and would log in via SSH, then execute my cache removal script each and every time the clients had a font issue. That gets old fast, so rather than continue to work that way, I whipped together FontNuke.
I made this application for myself, and I'm just posting it here to share. On top of the fact I like free things, so hey...why not keep it free! If FontNuke is useful to anyone else, please--help yourself. I take no responsibility for any products of misuse.
FontNuke has been an indispensible tool for me. Especially as a sysadmin with non-admin users experiencing font cache issues. Empowering users with tools to remain productive is what I'm all about.
What's New:
Added removal of ATSServer_* files from /var/temp. These are unimportant error log files.
Added removal of additional problematic font cache files for Microsoft Entourage. Fixes garbled text.
