Hi, My knowledge is based on (long years) on unix/linux and it works on 10.4 too where X11 behaves the same as on linuxes/unixes. Seeing your answer I googled around and it seems that "things" have changed in 10.5. See this article < http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html>. It describes another issue, but it still might help. You could try that.
