I had installed the Font Manager Update extension under Mac OS 8.6, do I still need this extension if I'm running Mac OS 9?
DISCUSSION The Font Manager Update extension was created specifically for Mac OS 8.6. The issue it addressed has been corrected and the fix is included in Mac OS 9.0 as part of the System Suitcase or Mac OS ROM file (depending on the Macintosh model). You do not need to re-install the font update extension, and it is safe to remove this extension if you are running Mac OS 9.0. If you believe you may have a damaged font resource as a result of previously running Mac OS 8.6, you can still run the Font First Aid application included as part of the Font Manager Update 1.0 package under Mac OS 9.0 to search for and repair damaged font resources. Be careful not to confuse the "Font Manager Update" extension with the "Font Updater Extension" which is part of the Language Kit installation package included with Mac OS 9.0. If you are using a language kit under Mac OS 9.0, leave the "Font Updater Extension" installed. Font First Aid is also not the same application as the Font Updater utility that is installed as part of the Language Kit installation package. For more information on Font Updater, see Tech Info Library article: Article 60557: " Mac OS 9: About the Font Updater for Language Kits. " |
