Renaming won't be sufficient -- the fonts in question would need to be moved out of !Fonts entirely (else, when they do get scanned, you'll just get the machine crashing again). > Has anyone any ideas on how I can get over this problem? For the timebeing, you'll have to isolate the fonts that cause problems and move them out of !Fonts. Once you have isolated the problematic fonts, please zip them up and email them to me (off list). We simply can't fix this without the relevant data files. John.
