Being the curious person that I am, I wondered if I could change my system wide font by replacing /System/Library/LucidaGrade.dfont with another (Monaco.dfont is what I chose to test).
So I backed up the whole Fonts folder, and in the terminal typed:
sudo cp Monaco.dfont LucidaGrande.dfont
Then I restarted. Now my computer won't start up. I can't seem to boot into single user mode (option+s or something on startup... it just says "checking disk" and hangs indefinately) and when I boot into Mac OS 9 (on a seperate hard drive) it says it can't read my hard drive (that Jaguar is installed on).
What gives? Is this possible? Could this be a coincidence that my hard drive died at the same time I messed with the fonts?
I couldn't kill the hard drive from screwing with the OS! This doesn't make sense!
[edit]
ok, nevermind i fixed it. i tried booting into os 9 again and it mounted the hard drive; i moved my backup lucidagrande.dfont into /system/library/fonts and my system is back to normal.
a word of advice: don't mess with /system/library/fonts!
