We have a number of fonts installed on the Macs that we used a configuration profile to get them on the laptops. What is the proper way of getting those fonts off of the laptops now using Jamf?

@dj562006 Have you tried removing the Macs from the scope of the Configuration Profile that deployed the fonts? If that doesn't remove the fonts you'll need to run n rm command to delete the font file from /Library/Fonts, or the Library/Fonts folder in the user's directory (it will depend on if the profile was scoped to the Computer or User level)

I havent, I wasnt sure if it was that simple as unscoping them and it would uninstall the fonts.

I haven't tried deploying fonts via a Configuration Profile, but when installing a certificate that way removing the profile removes the certificate.

Yeah, when we removed the devices scoped to the configuration profile it removed the fonts.
