I disabled all of my Adobe fonts and had no problem with InDesign CS3. I'm 
running on a MacBook Pro using OS X 10.5.6.

All CS4 apps should have installed any truly required fonts in a private app directory or in the shared Adobe directory. You ought to be able to remove anything in the system directory you want to.

At least, that was the intent when we were planning CS4 font installation.

It would be helpful in these discussions if those posting identified whether 
they were working with a Macintosh or suffering with a PC.

Shame on me!   :-)

But the comment was serious.

I recommend that you get a good font manager to make life easier here. If you're on a Mac, try FontAgent Pro (and disable Font Book).

And just what is the inadequacy of Font Book? As an aside I keep all of my 
fonts in libraries managed by Font Book, a separate library for each major 
supplier of fonts, Apple, Adobe, Microsoft and a number of others. A library 
can be quickly disabled or enabled depending on whether one wants the fonts 
in that library to be accessible. I've tried other font managers such as Font 
Explorer and  find myself quickly returning to Font Book to manage my fonts.

Hi guys,

@Thomas, thanks for that, just wondering what fonts the adobe cs4 need installed to run properly (those used by the UI say in photoshop, indesign)...which are these?

@Neil, yep been using MainType for the past couple of years. I prefer it to FontAgent (I'm a windows vista user)...the UI is ugly in windows, IMHO.

DOH! Thomas forget that last question! I was a sleepyPety! LOL

I noticed that livecycle has a "euro sign" font link in the system folder to this location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\Fonts

but when I uninstalled it with maintype, it didn't go to my maintype "uninstalled fonts" folder, it just removed the link/reg value. ok, I realise this is a third-party thing, but I'm wondering if that will cause any issues? (I'm just wondering if there were any more like that which completely uninstalled due to just being a "link" in the fonts folder.

thanks

If you prefer to clean up all of the fonts installed on a Mac OS X
system, you can get a list of the required fonts in our Font
Management Best Practices Guide. This document also shows you where
they hide all of the fonts in case you want to use a different version
(newer or different type) that that which is required by the
application.
