The Seeds of Corruption

I need corrupted fonts. Badly. I need the help of the netizens of the interweb to get these corrupted fonts. Please email any corrupted fonts the MenuViews tool below finds to my name at this company dot com. Please compress them as some fonts will be destroyed by the internet.

Download MenuViews.

To use:

Download it. Unzip it. Run it. Click on "TestFontMenu". Wait a while. If it doesn't appear, click it a second time. It should crash. Open the Console (/Application/Utilities/Console) check the console.log. It'll list a bunch of fonts and their paths. The last one listed should be the one that caused the crash. Remove it and run MenuViews again and see if it crashes. If it does not, the removed font is corrupted. Please email this to me along with the crash log and the console log.

Is it normal for there to be a big white box at the top of the menu? Also there seem to be a few fonts with squares instead of font names. http://homepage.mac.com/agallisa/testfontmenu.jpg

Crap, I can't believe I just posted my email up there. Anyway an admin could remove it? The URL encoded trick really doesn't protect your email from bots.

I really like the new version of FontMenu. I regularly use YouControl:Fonts and find that FontMenu does a better job supporting applications than YouControl (Such as Photoshop 7).

I think/hope Rosyna is working on some performance issues with my large folio of fonts which we have been in contact about.

As far as the wallpaper, it came from http://www.classicgaming.com/vgwallpaper/

Its a large file which I would suggest cropping to your specific resolution. That way it doesn't get stretched since its a pixel based graphic. I also took out the flying ship since I prefer a more blank background to keep my icons on top of.
