摘要：Techniques are disclosed that allow a user to control how an operating system maintains, updates, installs, and uses font resources provided in a font resource repository. A font resource management module can be configured to detect conflicts between font resources and prompt the user to resolve such conflicts. Conflicts may occur, for example, where Version 1.0 of a given font has been installed and is being used by an operating system, but where Version 2.0 of that same font is later received. Providing the user with the option to select which version of the font should be used by the operating system and other software affords a greater degree of certainty with respect to how content will be rendered for the user. In certain embodiments the font resource management module can be further configured to provide the user with additional information on the font resources that are available.

主权项：1. A method for managing font resources, the method comprising: receiving, by a font resource management module, a first font resource; determining whether a second font resource exists in a font resource repository, the second font resource having a characteristic indicative of a conflict between the first font resource and the second font resource; where the second font resource is determined to exist in the font resource repository, displaying information associated with the first font resource; receiving a user selection with respect to the conflict; and providing a selected one of the first and second font resources as an active font resource for an operating system.
