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.
As someone else mentioned in another thread today, the key is most
likely the font caches in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS.
I run computer labs in which all users log in as 'student' (user ID
1025). So all users get a clean system, a logoutHook is used to
refresh /Users/student. Many users do graphic design work, so they're
installing fonts. If the logoutHook doesn't also delete /Library/
Caches/com.apple.ATS/1025, fonts go to hell. I believe this is the
only accommodation towards font issues I've made, and I've heard no
complaints since I rolled out 10.4 over 2 months ago.
If you have a true multi-user setup, it might be good to just delete
the entire com.apple.ATS folder with a logoutHook. If you want to be
more fine-grained, only deleting for that user, I think putting the
following in your logoutHook would do it: rm -Rf /Library/Caches/
com.apple.ATS/`id -u $1`
