Hi all,
I'm experiencing something that I'd consider as a bug in OS X maybe
someone can verify, comment, deny, etc. on this issue.
With increasing uptime of my Mac (G4 2x500, OSX <= 10.2.x) more and
more instances of the ATSServer process are running.
The docs say: "ATSServer: The Apple Type Solution server, enabling
system-wide font management."
I thought, one process at a given time should be enough, but if I'm
wrong, so be it.
Though these multiple instances don't eat up any cpu cycles, of course,
it's not *that* bad.
But I recognize that the time needed to login/logout from one user to
another (I'm using two different users and am changing between them
frequently) becomes the longer the more ATSServer processes are running.
This is annoying.
Usually I'm killing most of this processes (i.e. every ATSServer
instance but the last recent launched, which is the one with the
highest PID) via Terminal, often without obviously harming the system.
I searched into Apples KB (<
http://kbase.info.apple.com>), with no
result.
Is anyone able to shed some light on this issue?
Greetings,
Dirk Stegemann
