One of the benefits of 10.6.2 is it "fixes" the problem with Postscript Type 1 fonts. I'm not sure what the problem was, but initially NONE of my Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, etc.) can find any Type 1 fonts. They completely disappeared.
I found the same problem in Adobe Creative Suite 3: InDesign and Photoshop. No Type 1 fonts at all. Gone.

A helpful source at MacIntouch suggested purging the font caches. Worked great, and all my fonts are back. I used FontDoctor, but there are many other ways to do this.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_2006 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:15:02 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_2006 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_2004 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:58:09 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_2004 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1984 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:05:58 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1984 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1980 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:04:30 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1980 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1979 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:56:50 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1979
The bug made several programs (Dashboard and others) hang (unresponsive) in response to numbers > 1000.

Instead of the icon, there's just a blank space.

http://yfrog.us/5khaxz shows the effect in the taskswitcher.

Other than that little annoyance, no problems at all in 10.6.2 other than the few unfixed from 10.6.1.]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1973 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:36:49 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1973 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1972 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:33:13 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1972 I normally upgrade without hesitation. In the future I'll wait a while and let others suffer...

PS. Deleting and reinstalling iWork'09 (without upgrading to 5.0.3) solved the problem for now, so that I can get back to preparing my lectures...]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1971 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:55:46 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1971 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1963 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:57:39 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1963 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1962 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:59:48 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1962 http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740?rss#comments_1943 Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:46:03 PST http://db.tidbits.com/article/10740#comments_1943
