Smasher is a Mac OS X application that was designed to resolve number 1 cause of display and printing problems on your Macintosh: corrupt fonts and font caches.
Using Smasher, you can clear font caches, check font integrity, clean up font folders and suitcase nightmares, eliminate application crashes and performance problems, find missing fonts and move fonts between Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.
As Mac OS X and Macintosh applications run, they gather information about active fonts and place it in caches.
Unfortunately, the cached copies easily fall out of sync as you activate, deactivate, add and remove fonts from your system----causing conflicts that can disrupt font menus and cripple font activation in your applications.
So Smasher cleans Mac OS, Adobe, Quark and other font caches, CUPS Spool Files and old Microsoft Office preferences that can cause font management and printing problems.
Smasher even allows you to schedule your cache cleaning so each time you reboot your Mac, you begin your session with clean caches.
Here are some key features of "Smasher":
· Find suitcases, families and fonts.
· Streamline old, bloated suitcases.
· Seperate font formats.
· Verify font outlines.
· Clear Mac OS and application font caches.
· View fonts, foundries and permissions.
Limitations:
· 30 days trial.
