You can download an evaluation copy of FontDoctorX via versiontracker... it won't fix you fonts or move them, but it will tell you if any are bad... this could be a source of several of your other issues as well... I haven't had any problems in Panther, but found fonts moved from OS9 to OSX a big problem in early versions, especially non-Adobe fonts.
