- When I did the 7.0 to 7.1 upgrade, here's what happened with fonts:
-
- All fonts moved to the new Fonts folder.
-
- Geneva, Monaco, and Chicago were ALSO in the System file. I left them
- there (what happens if someone moves the Fonts folder?).
-
- The "purgable" bit on the fonts in the Fonts folder was unset (I
- didn't actually check ALL of them, just several). This is what causes
- the memory usage to appear higher. I "solved" this by reinstalling
- the Apple Font Pack, which installs things with the purgable bit set.
