Hello,
A strange thing happened this morning: I am unable to run a number of system applications, including Safari, the Installer and System Update. The apps attempt to open, then nothing; no error message, just an indicator in my dock saying that the app is open, but when I click there nothing happens; the only thing I can do is force quit. The system was fine yesterday and I did nothing to my settings, nor did I install any new apps or patches anywhere. I'm just not sure what to do. I've tried reinstalling Panther (archive and install) to no avail. I am running Panther 10.3.2 on a G4 450 tower. I am not having any problems with non-system apps (Macromedia, Microsoft, Netscape, Adobe etc.). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks!
Since my first post, I have come to realize that this is Fonts related; although I am still unsure as to which fonts were causing the problem, once I made a few adjustments to my user/library/fonts folder (deleting those which are disabled in fontbook), things seem to be back to normal. Any wisdom on this issue would still be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
