Same problem with Arabic fonts
Authored by: al-muftah on Sep 06, '02 05:36:51PM

I've had this problem, too. I must have reinstalled Jaguar three or four times until I figured out that it was a bunch of .ttf Arabic fonts that I had downloaded that were causing the problem. Not only was Mail not opening its windows, but Stickies, TextEdit, and any other Cocoa application that used Arabic natively wasn't working and had to be Force Quit. I couldn't turn off the Arabic keyboard either, because the International section of System Preferences would crash the whole Sys Prefs program every time I tried to go there. Highly frustrating. I'm back to normal now w/ Arabic, just without those .ttf fonts.
