Oh Yes John, Yes John, Yes John, Yes...
I know all about that, but I rarely put Fonts in the !Fonts dir, only
occasionally to test a font out, then I remove it and install it in a
Better font manager.
Problem is, I usually forget about the ...king Messages1 file, the concept
of which annoys me so much it needs deleting, and doing it manually gives
one so much pleasure.
Yesterday evening at the conclusion of my search, with a solution in hand,
I *manually* Poked around inside !Fonts and dumped all the experimental
fonts I stuffed in there during yesterday, and also of course Deleted
(Manually of course) the rescanned Messages1 file.
But, just to keep you happy, you'll be pleased to know, at around 10:30
ish PM yesterday (Sat) I did a Configuration Re-scan, so your beloved
Messages1 is back in place.
