To the best of my knowledge, none of my computers have SymbolMT installed. These files display correctly using the Mac OS/X and Linux versions of Acrobat Reader. I have used Document >Properties >Fonts and see that SymbolMT is indeed an embedded font but it should not be showing up where it is (e.g., document title in headers - should be a NewTimesRoman italic).

It is not uncommon to get pdf files from my client's document system that have selected text display in a symbol or greek font but should be something else.
#Symbolmt font mac osx pro
The WinTel machines I use have Acrobat 7.0 Pro installed. After that, restart as usual and you should be back in business. OSX 10.4 and later has the capability built in to clear them itself – Just restart holding the shift key to boot into “safe mode” which will also clear out all your caches. That takes care of the Adobe caches – now onto the OSX caches – and there’s a few of them. Do not delete AdobeFnt.db or FontNames.db!! Those are not caches.
Shut down all Adobe apps and do a search for “AdobeFnt” There ought to be a bunch of them, most with a 2 digit number (eg.: “AdobeFnt56”) after them.Īny of them that have the.lst extension can be safely deleted. To do it manually: If you insist On the Mac.
#Symbolmt font mac osx free
You could also do it manually, but why, when there are all the free apps to do it for you safer and easier? The functionality is also built into which used to be free, but now costs about as much as its competitors. You can do this a few ways, but the easiest is to use the free app on the Mac or on Windows. Office also creates its own, which behave the same way, but, well, for Office.
There is no danger in deleting them, they will be recreated the next time you restart Illustrator in the case of the application level caches or by the finder in the case of the system level caches. The font caches are temp files that both your computer and Illustrator cooks up to keep track of what fonts are active and where they are located.
Another issue that can show itself in a few ways.
