10.3: Resolve feature in Font Book may cause problems
Oct 31, '03 08:40:00AM • Contributed by: toothfish
I woke up this morning to a Safari that wouldn't start -- it would just sit in the dock and require a Force Quit to get out. After several hours and many tries (and one download of Mozilla Firebird 0.7.1, which is nice), I remembered that I had done a "Resolve Duplicates" in Font Book last night before bed. It's a feature that supposedly disables conflicting or duplicate fonts automatically, but it resolved Safari right out of functioning, near as I can tell. One trip to Font Book to re-enable the font in question (Frutiger, if you must know), and Safari started up again just fine.
The font funkiness may have affected other applications as well, but I'm not sure. This was a clean install of 10.3 on a Sawtooth 450.
