Maintain Font Integrity

So what makes a font go bad?

What makes an otherwise normal, upstanding font turn to the dark side? System crashes. disk problems. OS upgrades. file allocation table problems to name a few ways. Without a doubt, any file that is open during a system or application crash is subject to corruption, and since some or all of your font files are always open, they are easy targets for being damaged without you ever knowing it! When fonts become corrupt, they make big trouble for your system. Sometimes corrupt fonts make their presence known by causing sluggish performance while the OS tries to figure out what's going on. Sometimes they cause applications to freeze up, so you lose all your work. And sometimes they cause your entire system to crash, resulting in further font corruption.

Do you have corrupt fonts?
