No remote home directories here...
Authored by: gabester on May 15, '06 09:16:30PM

The machines I see this issue on do not have remote home directories... however, the home directories for some users are not on the startup volume at /Users; rather I have followed some hints from this site to move them to another volume; this way I can readily reimage the machine in question when other weirdness, such as Adobe InDesign suddenly refusing to launch, occurs without having to worry about whether or not the day/week/month's work is backed up from the local drive. (The designers in question often don't have good organization, or are pressed for time and insufficient space on their servers to back up all work.)

So the issue would seem to occur then with fonts activated by users not located at /Users?

Hm... don't use Word?

I too seem to have screwed up my threading on this item - my apologies. To further add to my list, I realize that I don't use Word if I can avoid it, opening .doc files in TextEdit, or, on my personal machine, OpenOffice. The folks who seem to have the most trouble are probably using Word, and the user in question is most likely NOT based in the /Users directory, being either a remote home user, FileVault user, or some other hack job!
