The above will leave the file hosts~orig alone, while making a copy of it named hosts - the way it ought to be. The Terminal session will look something like this: You will be prompted for your Admin password. Merely rename it or copy hosts~orig to hosts. As worthless as "Trusteer" may be, I'd be surprised if it's actually causing that to happen.įor the time being fixing the apparently missing Hosts file ought to be easy enough. It seems that Mac is suffering from a case of mysteriously disappearing files. Short of wiping the system and reinstalling High Sierra from scratch I can't think of a solution un less anyone can provide any clues I'm running Suitcase Fusion 8 - don't know if that could be a problem, I did have a onetime issue with Microsoft Office asking for fonts but once I clicked on download the issue has resolved for my Office apps. I've tried reinstalling Postbox including deleting the Application Support files and prefs but it still asks for the font on restart - or rather nearly every time - sometimes it will re-start twice in a row without asking for it but then it reverts to asking for the font. I've run Etrecheck and the only error reported are: I don't think it's actually Postbox on it's own that's doing this but maybe some linked app our system resource. Oddly, Postbox doesn't ask for the font on my old mac also running High Sierra. The same is true of other greyed out fonts like Yuanti SC - I can download but after a few seconds they unload. If I click to download the font the app continues but strangely the font doesn't remain downloaded but after a few seconds 'greys out' in Font Book. Postbox has recently got rid of the need to use the Osaka font precisely to enable it to work in High Sierra according to their support people. I've recently migrated to a new iMac and at first everything seems fine then suddenly my mail programme Postbox has started asking for the font Osaka on restart of the OS (doesn't when I close and reopen the app without shutting the mac down).
