I rebuilt my font cache by deleting the /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS
folder, logging out and then logging in, and I still get that error when
I try to launch it. I tried installing MacPorts' Eterm package, and
*that* won't launch either. Should I try installing one of the fonts
packages from MacPorts?
