Re: How to clear recently used fonts list?
Certainly you could edit the plist to excise the unwanted fonts. Most people don't consider that an option You'll want to look for the key "com.nisus.lastUsedFonts".

Great. thanks for both answers.
Re: How to clear recently used fonts list?
As Martin explained, you can clear the list of last used fonts by deleting com.nisus.lastUsedFonts in com.nisus.NisusWriter.plist. You can do so by executing a terminal command or by running the following NWP macro.Ruchama wrote:thanks, not even by diving into the plist file..
Code: Select all
begin Perl
`defaults delete com.nisus.NisusWriter 'com.nisus.lastUsedFonts' 2>/dev/null`;
end
Prompt 'Last Used Fonts have been cleared', 'Save all open documents and restart Nisus Writer Pro immediately'

thanks, kino. I shall survive the psychological barrier.. I guess typing the command in terminal is longer than opening the plist file and deleting those redundant fonts. (I could also copy the line.. ) Still, good to know that there is more than one solution.

Unfortunately you cannot use a text editor to edit com.nisus.NisusWriter.plist manually, which is not a plain text file any more but a binary file in OS X 10.6.x at least. So, if you don’t have Property List Editor.app specialized in editing plist files (a component of Developer Tools), you have to run a terminal command to change com.nisus.NisusWriter.plist. The macro posted above is a kind of NWP macro wrapper of the terminal command (/usr/bin/defaults).Ruchama wrote:I guess typing the command in terminal is longer than opening the plist file and deleting those redundant fonts.

Pref Setter is an easy-to-use utility that allows you to open and edit any plist in your Mac.
