Jealous of your buddy’s shiny new black and silver iMac? Well, if you’re looking for a little retribution, all you have to do is point out that maybe the text on the screen could look a little better. Maybe it’s offset, or left justified in places it shouldn’t be. Rub that in a few times, and pretty soon you’ll have your friend weeping into his aluminum Apple-less keyboard.
Then you can take pity on him and show him the fix for these font woes. Yes, it involves a trip to the Terminal, but that’s nothing to be scared of. Just fire it up and copy this command from Apple’s knowledge base article: sudo rm -r /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS. That’ll kill a pesky font cache. Once you restart, everything should be hunky dory in new iMac land.
Note: The management does not condone the behavior of the first paragraph, which may fall under the heading of “jackassery.” Perform such taunting at your own risk.
