Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks and Zero K Fonts

Hi everyone,

We store customer work on a Windows 2003 Server using ExtremeZ-IP 5 (yes it's old). Since upgrading to Mavericks, some fonts show as zero K when viewing them on Mavericks but have size when viewing them with Snow Leopard.

Since AFP support appears to have been dropped in Mavericks (rendering ExtremeZ-IP useless?), my question is how do I fix this issue? Setting up a font server may be possible but understand that the fonts for each job travel with said job and are not all stored in one place. Would a newer version of ExtremeZ-IP fix this issue?

TIA,
pd
 
We have a Windows server (2008) and it works fine with OS 10.7 (Lion) connecting via SMB.
Every once in a while we will end up with 0k fonts when copying them from one folder to another, but that seems to be sporadic and I haven't nailed down exactly when or what causes that. But on the whole, fonts seem to be fine with it. (Of course this is just mac postscript fonts - OTF fonts never have the 0k problem).
 
get into the habit of zipping the Document Fonts folder before copying to the SMB server, this gives you a protected back up set.

I also run a Windows 2003 Server and use 10.9 Mavericks.
We are one version behind on ExtremeZ•IP. The current is version 9 and we are on version 8.
I am not experiencing these issues.
BTW, AFP support has not been dropped. It is just that SMB2 is now the default protocol, but you can still use AFP if you wish.
