After I took out all the prefs, I came back and saw this, so I went ahead and put "com.apple.finder.plist" back in the pref folder. So, after I had all of my other prefs in a folder on my desktop, I logged out and back in and had the same problem. Of course, I took that Finder pref out next and logged out again. Now, all of the prefs have been removed, but I still have the problem. That means we can rule out the preference folder as the source of the problem. What do we try next? >Another suggestion: User Font Finagler purge your font >caches: That was the first thing I tried. It didn't help either.
