Re: Disappearing font

Oddly, they claim the problem goes away (for a while) if they launch our app as an administrative local user and then log back into the managed user account.

To me, that sounds like a permissions problem.

It could be permissions on the font-file itself, or on one of the directories leading to it.

See if you can enlist one of the users where the problem occurs to enter some appropriate 'ls -l' commands for you and send you the output. You can also put the commands in a shell file, run it and capture the output, then email you the resulting output file.

  ls -ld /System /System/Library >~/Desktop/lsout.txt
  ls -ld /System/Library/Fonts  >>~/Desktop/lsout.txt
  ls -ld /System/Library/Fonts/Lucida*  >>~/Desktop/lsout.txt

You might also get one of the users to run a "Fix Permissions" or "Verify Permissions" in Disk Utility.app, since I think font and font- dir permissions would be covered.
