Not that it will be any consolation to you, but I am running CS on 10.3.3 on a 2 GHz Dual G5 without any problems. This machine does use a different video card from yours — could that be an issue?
And then there is my mantra: When there’s trouble, it’s usually fonts! Check for duplicated, damaged or conflicting ones. (I replaced most of my System .dfonts with Type 1s or OTFs with the same name.)
Hi Ann, I know all the troubles you can have with font´s´ín the system. I have removed almost every font in the system. I know what fonts the system is using and I have not removed them..
All my font types are matching together. No duplicated, damaged etc.
By the way, how is our exprience with the fonts you have replaced with Type 1´s or OFTs, is the system running okay like that..?
I think the problem is in the system, I will try to run the OS 10.3.3 update manualy, to see if this sovle the problem. If this wont work, I will try to replace some of the system files with a system that runs ok.
I also think I can get it to work if I make a new archive installation, but I will not do that for now…:-)
I replaced Symbol and Zapf Dingbats with Type 1s and Times and Helvetica with OTFs in System/Library Fonts.
The only fonts that remain in that folder now are: Apple LiGothic Medium.dfont AppleGothic.dfont AquaKanaBold.otf AquaKanaRegular.otf Courier.dfont Geeza Pro Bold.ttf Geeza Pro.ttf Geneva.dfont Hei.dfont HelveticaLTStd Roman.otf Keyboard.dfont LastResort.dfont LucidaGrande.dfont Monaco.dfont Symbo Symbol TimesLTStd Roman.otf Zapf Dingbats ZapfDin
(although Geeza and Hei could probably go too).
All other fonts are managed by FontAgent Pro and I haven’t run into any problems since making these changes.
I also emptied the Fonts folder that Microsoft office installs inside its Application folder.
This is a response to a problem I had a while back. (I forgot who had replied to my question.)
I got the numbers back when I installed classic! Believe it or not, that is the only difference, after trying everything. It may just be a coincidence, but I can’t think of anything else. Go figure.
