Can't Quit Any Application
Authored by: 128K Mac on Dec 08, '01 12:15:11AM

Found an odd old folder, Adobe Type 1 fonts circa 1995 or so, in my Classic System folder. Removed them, logged in and out, and now I *can* quit although I seem to now belong to the present group, i.e., takes 1-2 minutes to quit *all* Office X applications, with Entourage X being the slowest. Anyone else having long wait time on quitting other apps, especially Word X?

Since major part of problem is gone and was font related I'm wondering if:

1. I don't have the "right" (Microsoft TT fonts from Office 2001 rather than Apple equivalent) fonts in Classic's System folder

2. Corrupt font list created when Classic launches as I always manually launch Classic
