NAME

     atsutil -- font registration system utility

SYNOPSIS

     atsutil fonts [-list | -verify]
     atsutil databases [-remove | -removeUser]
     atsutil server [-ping | -shutdown]
     atsutil help

DESCRIPTION

     atsutil tool controls some aspects of the font registration system.  It may be used to modify font auto activation settings, font protection
     settings, remove font registration databases and caches, or restart the font registration daemon.

     fonts enumerates all fonts available to processes in the OS. It also performs a consistency check of the fonts available via font management
     APIs.

     databases will remove fontd System or User databases along with any cache files. Removing databases may cause the loss of font registration
     state: fonts activated outside the standard font directories, font faces disabled, and font libraries. New databases will be regenerated from
     fonts installed the standard font directories after the user logs out, restarts, or the fontd server is restarted.

     server queries the status of fontd or shutdowns the fontd.  Shutting down the fontd will spawn a new fontd.  Shutting down the server is NOT
     recommended and will likely lead to misrendered text or application crashes.

OPTIONS

     fonts [-list | -verify]
     -list lists and performs a consistency check on registered fonts.
     -verify performs consistency a check on registered fonts.

     databases [-remove | -removeUser]
     -remove remove fontd databases for active user and system (used when no one is logged in and some background processes).
     -removeUser remove fontd databases for the active user only.

     server [-ping | -shutdown]
     -ping query running fontd.
     -shutdown shutdown fontd and spawn a new fontd. NOTE: this action is not recommended. See above.

     atsutil first appeared in MacOS X 10.5.
