[X4U] Adobe Apps crashing..

[Tim Kinsella]

Well folks...

What seems to have worked  -

I had accumulated numerous fonts in my ~/library/fonts Folder - due to 
laziness, Suitcase not accepting certain fonts, or whatever, but.. 
dumping fonts in there (Windoze TT fonts included) - generally loaded 
them & made 'em available.

Fonts are notorious for causing problems, soooo...  I had an 'aha' 
moment & thought about extraneous/corrupt fonts, & cleaned out my 
~/library/fonts Folder..

All is well...

Of course, after trashing numerous preferences, etc., I have a little  
'new app' type tweaking to do, but hey.. that's OK.

Darn fonts....

(BTW - someone mentioned "globalpreferences.plist"  - I didn't have 
it!!)
(I just reread the eMail & noticed it called 
".globalpreferences.plist",  - with a dot - so maybe it's invisible??)


Anyyywayyy.....  I'm running Adobe Apps again, so.. thanks & wish me 
luck!!

Tim
