Re: 10.4 Network Homes and Font Hell



I haven't gone that far down the trial/error road to rule in or out
10.3.  But I'm leaning towards the issue being with 10.4 only.

This issue is being addressed in the client-management list too, and
I think it's getting more responses.  Some folks blame MS Office,
which it could be too.
