I was having trouble with fonts yesterday, as in they wouldn't load thru suitcase into quark OR for that matter preview in Suitcase.
So i restarted my mac, removed some fonts from suitcase etc.
Anyway, now when i restart, it goes thru the boot and gets to my deskyop picture but then the beachball just spins and no menu's/icons appear. It just spins and spins, the beachball that is.
No matter how long i leave it for it doesn't stratup.

HELP.
I'm on a G4 running 10.3.9

many thanks Jayson
 
Hi

Have you removed any of the system fonts? I had the same problem, I removed a system helvetica I think and it had the same issue so I had to boot from an external drive and stick it back in order for the finder to launch properly.
