Fonts In Trash on Bootup

[dwaynedelario]

Anyone getting recovered files in the trash upon bootup? If I don't run Pro Tools, they don't appear on reboot. But after running sessions, a recovered files folder with various .ttf files shows up in there after restart. I have tried the normal trashing and permissions routines.

None of those fonts are installed on my system. You may want to use /Applications/Font Book to verify that all of the fonts on your system are ok. You can do this by launching the app, select the All Fonts collection, do a select all in the Font column, then choose Validate Fonts from the File menu.

Thank you very much, Jonathan. I will try this. How strange.. this is a brand new install of 10.6, odd that these fonts would get installed.

Did you install any other software using an installer application? A drag-and-drop install (i.e. Firefox) probably does not install any fonts. An application like Microsoft Word does install fonts.

These are windows TrueType fonts, I have seen the same thing on one of my machines. Doesn't seem to have any impact other than they show up in the trash. Do you have OpenOffice installed?

[dwaynedelario]

Strange. Thanks for the tips. I don't have OpenOffice but I do have MSOffice which might be the culprit. PT system is just fine so I guess it's not a big deal, but I'm super OCD about having a clean system so this is merely an annoyance. I ran the validation in fontbook and it came up with 4 duplicates, none related to the fonts I posted about earlier.

Cheers.

I have the exact same fonts showing up in the 'recovered files' folder every time I boot up.
I don't have MS Office or any kind of office suite installed.
Very weird indeed.

I'm running PT HD 8.1.1 on MacOS 10.6.6.
Other than PT, I have Wavelab, Wave Editor, Automap, VST to RTAS Adapter installed.


Any clue here?

Hey xq3js. I can't seem to rid my system of this issue no matter what pest control I employ. Annoying but I just empty the trash on boot... haven't yet noticed any adverse effects.
