Hi Neil,

I will give that a try. I assumed it was just going to give me an answer rather than actually do it. I really want to turn everything off and then turn specifics on. I suppose I will have to find what families are present. Each machine maybe difference. I certainly don't want to name each font family!

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes

Michael

I had an Automator script that would turn off all the fonts in Fontbook and then turn back on the ones that I wanted. This worked fine in Tiger, but in Leopard it just fails. I thought this might be a good time to learn Applescript. I looked in the dictionary and couldn't see deactivate, just enabled and that is a boolean.

Does anyone know the command for enabling and disabling fonts with Applescript, in Fontbook?

Note that the description of the "enabled" property is

enabled (boolean) : A font family

There isn't a "r/o" in the description, so the property should be writable. What happens if you try "set enabled to true" or "set enabled to false"?
