NAME
     fontrestore -- Restore the available system fonts to a pristine state, if possible.

SYNOPSIS
     fontrestore default [-n]

DESCRIPTION
     fontrestore detects fonts in /Library/Fonts, /System/Library/Fonts, and ~/Library/Fonts which are not
     part of the system install and moves them to /Library/Fonts (Removed), /System/Library/Fonts (Removed),
     and ~/Library/Fonts/Fonts (Removed) directories. Critical fonts required for operation of the user
     interface are also restored.

     The [-n] option performs the same operation without touching the disk, describing what would be done
     without actually doing it.
