After installing some new fonts, I ran cacheAFMData like I was told to in some readme or
other...a few second later everything got ugly.  Workspace came up with an error along the
lines of "Internal error -3007, Continue at your own risk or log out"  I continued, things
were ok, till I tried to do anything involving fonts...there were also a few pages of
errors in the messages file along the lines of:

n (null pointer)
Dec 21 08:03:11 shrug Mail[2003]: App Kit: Pasteboard Mach messaging error #-102
, in _NXGetSession
Dec 21 08:03:38 shrug Edit[2175]: App Kit: Pasteboard Mach messaging error #-203
, in (null pointer)



I eventually had to reboot, as logging out and back in had no effect on the problem.

This is running 3.0 on a NSC (!T).
