Check fonts if Safari won't load any pages
Authored by: cookiehead on Jan 16, '04 09:51:58PM

My highly repeatable/portable experience is that Panther + Suitcase X1 11.0.2 + any fonts from The Font Company (big, wonderfully drawn library from the late 80s/early 90s) = no WebCore anything.

No iChat, no Safari, no Mail, no Help.

What a buzzkill.

If anybody out there is successfully using the above combination, I'd like to hear about it -- the possibility exists that my particular copy of this library is poo.

Check fonts if Safari won't load any pages

OH MY GOD, I have the exact same problem with Safari and FC fonts. Since Panther and the newest version of Safari, mine has been crashing (instead of hanging, like it used to) when these fonts are activated via Suitcase X1. Insanely annoying! There's few things more infuriating than having Safari bomb when testing/running Flash for web viewing. I don't understand the relationship between fonts and the OS enough to fight this problem. If someone could explain it to me, I'd be able to give up more gracefully.
