We have all 10.4.2 clients/servers so I think it is definitely a
Tiger issue. I can clean it up temporarily by deleting the contents
of a users Library/Fonts, Library/FontCollections and most
importantly the Library/Preferences/ByHost folder. It seems a user
experiencing the issue can log into another computer and not have the
font trouble. Also, a different user can log into a machine giving
someone else font problems and not have any issues.
We often see broken fonts in Microsoft Office X, Safari, and a few
cases where it only effects FireFox...
I find this particularly frustrating because we are not doing
anything with the Font Book or any special fonts, just regular day to
day usage is giving us trouble.
