Product Description:
FontNuke is a utility application for Mac OS X Tiger / Leopard that removes corrupt / troublesome font cache files. I created this application as a tool for my personal use at the office, and has become very useful for me. To grant individual non-admin users the ability to remove font cache files, without my involvement--is HUGE! Not to mention intelligent application quitting, plus a GUARANTEED reboot, makes my life easier. FontNuke removes system font caches, Adobe font caches (*.lst), Microsoft Office font caches, and now also (as of version 1.0.6) QuarkXPress 6.x/7.x font cache files. Not to mention it's free.
I have recently added an option which purges spotlight indexes on startup volume from /.Spotlight-V100. This has been added due to some intermittent unresponsiveness when searching network volumes for some of my MCX clients. Please use this feature with caution. See the FontNuke homepage for more details.
What's new in this version:
- Major performance improvements when locating font cache files.
- Added font cache removal for the QuarkXPress 7.3.1 update.
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
- Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Fail to Nuke Fonts - Version: 1.1.5, 1/9/2009 07:20AM PST

Okay the final outcome!!!
The number count on Jan-8-2009 was
1.0750685e+6 (way over a million)
and after 16 DAYS it crashed, bummer.
This second run started back on Dec-25-08 (see other posted messages), and really u can't use the computer while the font caches is doing it update thing, very sluggish. And u can NOT Nuke the Fonts unless you hit the updates button. If you happen to crash, then you're back to zero.
I tried both the Admin-free and normal Font Nuke updates list.
This time I did not want to take the chance of it crashing again, so I left the computer alone.
I have screen save on, but the hard drive set on never sleep.
I would check status once in awhile to see if it was still going.
I used this iMac for graphic design, since 2003, I ran OS9 classic and switched over to Tiger in 2005 when I had new software, may be that is why it won't work?
I will do a re-install Tiger today. Whether it that gets rid of font caches I don't now?
With all the great reviews on Font Nukes I was really hoping it get the job done.
And I'm also disappointed not hear from my postings and alert message to this site manager.
FYI: I do not recommend this program with my kind of situation, I have wasted almost a month on this.

I've been running just Font Nuke for 12 days with the applied Admin-Free update and I'm not kidding– it is still finding font caches.
The count so far is 814541 and still ticking.
How long will it run?
I wish I knew more about this program. Hoping it works this time around.
I have posted a few times before on this subject.
I wish I could stop the updating part and Nuke the font caches it already has found.
This program crashed on me on Christmas eve and there were over a million files found.
So, I had to start all over again.
If this is normal I would love hear from you. or any other suggestions.
Thanks

- 1-05-09 Running Font Nuke
It does what it is supposed to do.
Used on a MacBook and a G5, both running Mac OS X 10.5.8. The G5 was having font problems with Word and InDesign. Font Doctor fixed or moved the damaged fonts, but I needed Font Nuke to clear out the cache files I was missing.
This method worked best for me:
1. Click "Nuke Font Caches" on the top toolbar
2. Click "Update Font Caches List" button on the bottom right corner
3. Click "Nuke Font Caches" button on the bottom right corner
4. Verify that no other applications are running, but
DO NOT click the button to quit other applications;
instead, click the "Continue" button that appears.
