I made this application for myself, and I'm just posting it here to share. That gets old fast, so rather than continue to work that way, I assembled FontNuke. 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. FontNuke removes system font caches (Mac OS X font cache files), Adobe font caches (*.lst), Microsoft Office font caches, and now also (as of version 1.1.9) ALL versions of QuarkXPress font cache files.
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 created this application as a tool for my personal use at the office, and has become very useful for me. ERRR! Having the aforementioned as part of my daily grind, enough is enough and frustration sets in! So I made a tool to make my life easier.įontNuke is a free utility application for Mac OS X 10.4.x+ (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra) that removes corrupt and troublesome font cache files.
