We eventually found what the problem was. We cleaned the font cache but nothing appeared to be wrong. We tried new user but that didn't help either. We chucked out the preferences folder but Illustrator kept on crashing on startup. Suddenly someone spotted that the default language (top of the list in the International System Preferences) had been changed to Arabic. The person using the machine had been fiddling with some Arabic text. So we changed the default language back to its normal setting (Icelandic in our case) and Illy then started working again as if nothing had happened :-) Funny thing was though that InDesign on the same machine had been working perfectly all the time. Moral: Illy doesn't like Arabic unless you've got a ME version.
