Two versions, both fail miserably:

Simple version
property theUser : ""
property killFontCommand : ""
property killTheFonts : "/bin/rm -r "

set theUser to do shell script "/usr/bin/whoami"
set theUserFontFolder to "/Users/" & theUser & "/Library/Fonts/"
set killFontCommand to killTheFonts & theUserFontFolder & "*"
do shell script killFontCommand

Doesn't work at all.


The Complex version:

property theCurrentUserFonts : ""
property posixFontPath : ""
property killTheFonts : "/bin/rm -r "
property testKill : "/bin/rm -r /Users/jwelch/test/oldfonts/*"
property killFontCommand : ""
property theUsersFolder : ""
property theUsersFolderText : ""
property theUsersFolderPosixPath : ""
property theFolderContents : {}
property theUserFolders : {}
property theTestFolder : ""
property theTestFolderName : ""
property theTestFolderPosixPath : ""
property theResults : ""
property theUser : ""

set theUsersFolder to path to users folder -- get the path as alias
set theUsersFolderText to theUsersFolder as text --get a text version of
this

set theUsersFolderPosixPath to POSIX path of theUsersFolder -- get posix
version of the path

set theResults to do shell script "ls /Users/" --get the general listing of
the Users folders

set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters --save the text
delimiters

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "
" --set the delimiters to the return character

set theFolderContents to (every text item of theResults) --make a list

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims --restore the old delims

set testCount to (length of theFolderContents) as text

repeat with x from 1 to (length of theFolderContents) --iterate the list
set theTestFolder to item x of theFolderContents --grab an item

if theTestFolder is not "Shared" then --we don't want that folder
set theTest to theUsersFolderText & theTestFolder as alias --make an
alias

set theTestInfo to info for theTest --get the info for that item

if (folder of theTestInfo) then --it's a folder, and not shared

set thetheTestFolderPosixPath to theUsersFolderPosixPath &
theTestFolder & "/Library/Fonts/" --build the path to the users font folder

set the end of theUserFolders to thetheTestFolderPosixPath --add
this to the list

end if
end if
end repeat

repeat with x from 1 to (length of theUserFolders) -- iterate this list
set posixFontPath to item x of theUserFolders -- grab the first font
folder path

set killFontCommand to killTheFonts & posixFontPath & "*" --build the rm
command for the font path

do shell script killFontCommand -- blow out the directory contents
end repeat

All I want to do is wipe the ~/Library/Fonts on logout...AUUUUUGH.
