When I look at the installed/copied data/program, it has not only been installed into a folder that I currently should not have permissions for, it is installed with the owner set to my admin user (not my logged in user)!Īpparently, sometimes the authenticating the finder as an admin user (when the currently logged in user isn't admin) is dangerously sticky. I then run (for example) an installer, which _succesfully_ copies an application into /Applications (for example) or /System/Library _without the insatller asking me to authenticate_. I have, however, been doing some admin actions with the finder, requiring me to authenticate as the admin user. It has happened so rarely, that I do not know what sequence of events leads to it. I have observed an apparent bug in the authorization which results in the Finder launching applications _as privileged apps_ after you have used the Finder to carry out some privileged operation itself.
#Fonts not installing on fontbook install
I have observed an odd phenomenon under 10.3 which may explain why you were able to install fonts in ad admin-only access folder without authenticating. I am replying at the top level to this comment, even though my reply is partially in response to various replies in other threads. IMO, Apple should make this option changeable only by an admin user. To change the default behavior, simply go to the preferences in Font Book and select the option that says install new fonts "for me only." Unfortunately, the current user can easily change this option prior to installing a font.
This opens up the door for users to easily install corrupt fonts (or replace system fonts with a corrupt file) that could wreak havoc on the OS for all users.
#Fonts not installing on fontbook password
Furthermore, no admin password is required of a non-admin user to install a new font. The Font Book default for installing a new font is to install it system-wide in the top-level Library -> Fonts folder (as opposed to your user's Library -> Fonts folder). The sample window also includes a button which allows the user to install the font. When you double-click a font in the OS X Finder (one that has not yet been installed), Font Book launches and shows a sample of the selected font. One your apps have loaded, quit your Microsoft Office apps and relaunch them a second time to see your updated fonts list.I just ran across what I consider a security hole in Font Book. defaults write PrioritizedFonts -array "Helvetica-Light" "Helvetica" "Helvetica-LightOblique" "TimesNewRomanPSMT" Postscript names here are case-sensitive and must match exactly what Font Book.app provides. Type the command ' defaults write PrioritizedFonts -array "postscript name 1" "postscript name 2" "etc."’ and hit return to run it. Select the font you want to prioritize in the center paneĮnsure Font Information is selected in the top left of the window, and find the PostScript Name field in the right pane and copy it. Launch Font Book (open applications folder in Finder, find and launch "Font book.app") Note: Postscript names are not the same as font families and each style will have a different postscript name, so to prioritize an entire font family you may need to add multiple names. You can work around this by setting the fonts you need that do not appear as prioritized fonts. This causes some fonts not to appear in the font picker. If you have a large number of fonts installed on your system, Microsoft Office apps may not be able to load all the fonts. If you have a single version of font, check the font type. If the font type is displayed as “PostScript-Type1”, we recommend you upgrade it to a newer "OpenType" version of the font. Some fonts may be missing."Ĭheck the installed versions of the font. If you have multiple versions, then make sure the latest version of the font is active. You may see a message bar saying "We were unable to load all your fonts. Some fonts are being substituted with other fonts. Some fonts including Times New Roman are missing or unavailable in the font picker.
Text appears garbled or in a different font. Users may see issues with fonts when using version 16.9 of Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, OneNote and Microsoft PowerPoint on macOS.
