Suitcase has the advantage of being able to manage your fonts wherever they are on your machine. With a large number of fonts, Suitcase is the best choice, at least while fontbook is in it's infancy still. That's why we use Suitcase in our Design Studio. Suitcase 11 is pretty decent too, with...

Have you tried repairing permissions with Disc Utility? Simple suggestion, I know, but that would be my first stop before checking for anything more serious.

I'm afraid you stated the cause of all your problems in your opening sentence. Although Apple originally stated that Mac OSX 10.2.x (Jaguar) can be 'upgraded' to Mac OSX 10.3 (Panther), this is NOT the case. As demonstrated in many, many, many instances in the MacOSX.com forum and elsewhere on...

A very interesting question, considering that Tiger apparently does incremental indexing of the metadata in the background, not complete up-front indexing as the previous 'Index drives' feature has done. That said, non-local drives pose a very real dilemma - Should you store a local metadata...

Purchasing Shapeshifter is worth the piece of mind. The alternatives offer no guarantees, and free interface hacks with OSX have gone spectacularly wrong for some people in the past.

It's just Macromedia programs that exhibit this shoddy interface behavior. Ever since they switched their focus to the PC platform, and to web developers rather than Print designers (and managing to screw not one but TWO long time user bases in one foul - and I do mean FOUL - swoop), Macromedia...

I'm stuck with a meagre 32Mb GeForce2MX in my Quicksilver 733MHz tower, and I'd like to hot it up to improve Neverwinter Nights which I am currently playing. If anyone in NEW ZEALAND is looking to offload one (they are very expensive new here, and the secondhand market for them is very small)...

It might be worth noting that the card is a 8x AGP card in an 8x AGP slot, so it has double the throughput of the previous 64Mb cards that were 4x AGP. The previous top of the line PowerMacs used this trick to get away with 128Mb cards, instead of splashing out on 256Mb ones.

Check the 'Horizontal scroll' checkbox in the mouse prefs pane.

Yeah. The AAC files from the iTunes store are protected, and won't convert to MP3. But then, you shouldn't HAVE to, since iTunes will convert and burn then to audio CD for you on a properly authorized Mac (not to mention that re-encoding them as MP3 will compress them again and further reduce...

I have the same machine, with only 384MB or RAM. As long as I repair permissions now and again, and run the CRON scripts (which are the system's own maintenance programs) once in a while (they would normally run at 3am if your machine was on all the time - if you sleep your machine at night like...

Please understand that we updated only after waiting for at least a week for all obvious bugs to become apparent, and also testing it on my home workstation first (which serves as a testbed for software destiined for our work machines). We have been caught out only because it is rare to use Font...

MPlayer is also an excellent alternative, and is every bit the competition for VLC.

and finally the Extensis whitepaper that highlights what I suspect is a now out of date font cache that the OS or applications are no longer correctly linking to.

Since there is a 100K attachment limit, I'll have to post my research a bit at a time.

After further research (and upgrading to Suitcase 11, which didn't help at all), it is has become apparent that the issue with a variety of Font Expert set characters no longer being accessible by their normal key mappings is a little known, newly introduced flaw in Mac OSX 10.3.5. SYMPTOMS...

I found this happens once in a while. Logging out and back in often clears it up, but repairing permissions also clears it up if the issue persists.
