@w__h_ Not ready to switch to a more modern font manager? What are you missing from FEX?

@exkclamation I don't know any tool that can find them, but you could do a search in Terminal if you're comfortable doing that.

Here's a command that searches the current working dir:
find ./ -type f -exec ls -l \{\}/..namedfork/rsrc 2>/dev/null \;

Please don't use this if you're not familiar with Terminal — use at your own risk.

If the files are contained in zips or other archives there is nothing to worry about. The panic only seems to occur when you directly access the file itself.

If these fonts are imported into Typeface app, or any other font manager, I’d recommend to (temporarily) move the old fonts into a separate folder that is not accessed by the manager.

To do that choose View › as List in Finder, which seems to prevent the kernel panic when selecting the font files. Or use Terminal to move the affected files.

It appears that the kernel panic may be related to Resource Forks on external disks and accessing files located on the internal disk may be fine, but more investigation is necessary to confirm.

⚠️ Caution for those of you with ancient fonts ⚠️

Accessing old font files that use a Resource Fork may cause a kernel panic on macOS Tahoe 25.1 & 25.2.

Selecting such a file in Finder will immediately reboot your Mac. Be careful of unsaved data!

ttf/otf files are fine — Resource Fork files were primarily used on classic Mac OS (pre OSX)

Ready for macOS Tahoe?

Prepare by getting Typeface 4.2, which can automatically restore your activated fonts after macOS updates. Or reactivate fonts from a backup — auto backups are now easily accessible from Settings.

@iestynx I hope so!

@iestynx The Foundation Models framework seems to be an LLM — that's text/prompt based. Not sure if that would be great fit for tagging fonts.

But I'll take a deeper look when I'm done crying about the new interface design 🤢

@drj @nicolasfolliot @triple no A is big enough to crush us all :) *runs for cover*
@justvanrossum Cheers, happy to hear it fixed the issue!
