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: Dec 21 08:02:59 shrug WM[185]: App Kit: Pasteboard Mach messaging error #-102, i 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).

That explains a problem that I had a couple of weeks ago; I didn't isolate it as far as installing a new font (doing too many things at one time). The 3.0 cacheAFMdata and buildafmdir seem to be below par. Try the 2.x version. Another hangup from 3.0 with font installation is that it finishes with 256 fonts.
