![]() Apple did this on purpose to prevent others from using their fonts. It may work in Apple applications and most of Adopey apps, but it will never work properly in Word, LibreOffice, and apps like Affinity. There are no "HelveticaNeue" (no space) official fonts. The versions you have were probably found thru a web search - and most of those are broken with name conflicts like this. I don't know what the original source is. Mine are a little bit mixed up between the two sets. ![]() It looks from your screenshot that your Apple and Adobe versions are in the same list but fortunately sorted out. The Font Book is probably good enough tool to do this task, as it allows just deactivating conflicting fonts without needing to uninstall them. If name editing is not an option, you could try if just removing the exactly conflicting fonts from the non-Apple family would make it possible to use all sub styles of these fonts, even if from mixed families. As mentioned, the problem is often app-specific, depending on whether an app uses multiple name fields to deduce how individual fonts should be grouped and identified. I do not think that it is possible to resolve the issue unless the family name of one of the conflicting font is changed and sub names thereafter rebuilt. on PostScript body (the first part of the name), name conflicts would happen and all kinds of issues related to this problem. PostScript name seems to be built based on Family name (spaces removed and style name appended by other parameters), it may be that at least certain fonts that have close to identical family names, end up having fully identical secondary names (like PostScript name). Yes, the both Helvetica Neue versions on your computer seem to have same or close to same family names (perhaps a space character is not enough to separate the names, unless the app can make a difference when enumerating the fonts).įont editors typically use the FamilyName as a base, and then other parameters to build several other names to create a unique set of font names to avoid name conflicts. I think the same thing will happen in that the Apple Version will display alongside the bought version. Of course I could delete my other source and buy a new set from Font Shop (£165). Font Book alerts that there are multiple copies. Both my sources appear in Publisher so maybe I just need to take more care selecting and then check fonts when packaging for output. I can't deactivate the Apple resident fonts so they have to appear. The source of the other typeface might be someone who I worked with who artwork a publication and then packaged the job so I could check it. I've left now and the laptop was taken back and the account closed. I used to work at a University where the Adobe license and typefaces were taken care of. See the Apple Support article Contact a third-party vendor.It looks from your screenshot that your Apple and Adobe versions are in the same list but fortunately sorted out. If you want the inactive copies to go in the Trash, select “Resolve duplicates by moving files to the Trash when possible” in Font Book settings.įor help using fonts in third-party apps, such as Microsoft Word, check with the developer. To review other copies, select one.Ĭlick Resolve This Duplicate or, if there’s more than one duplicate, Resolve All Duplicates. The copy that Font Book recommends keeping is labeled “Active” and is selected. Resolve Manually: Continue to the next step to review and handle duplicates yourself.Įxamine the duplicates and their copies, then select a copy to keep. Resolve Automatically: Font Book deactivates duplicates or moves them to the Trash, depending on the option selected in Font Book settings. In the Font Book app on your Mac, choose File > Resolve Duplicates. You can also check for duplicate fonts manually. You can choose whether to keep both versions, skip font installation, or replace the existing font with the new font. Font Book automatically checks for duplicates when you install a font, and shows a message if the font is already installed.
