Another guess: I have had the same apps fail to launch at some time: 
Safari, Disk Utility, Address book, Mail etc. I found out that 
deleteling caches in "/Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS" and restrating 
would solve the problem. But after a restart the problem would 
re-appear. After disabling some fonts (duplicats), maybe corrupted 
ones(?) the problem was fixed.

Maybe it is worth a try to delete te font caches and see if it makes a 
difference.
