Hello,

I tried to install applesystemfonts but it failed
----------
$ fink install applesystemfonts
Information about 3273 packages read in 1 seconds.
The following package will be installed or updated:
 applesystemfonts
Reading buildlock packages...
/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i

(Reading database ... 50403 files and directories currently installed.)

### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package applesystemfonts-1.1-1
----------

It tuns out that this file (and several others) are empty.

$ ls -l /Library/Fonts/Arial
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  admin         0 Aug 22  2005 /Library/Fonts/Arial

I expect this is caused by updating 10.4, through 10.5, to 10.6 and Apple 
changing the Font format.
A workaround for me was moving all the zero sized files to a backup location.
So ignoring 0 sized files during the installation could work as well.

Regards,
Claudius
