mac os 10.6.2 archicad 12/13 crashes on startup

[Anonymous]

Hello,
first of all: I am using the student version of archicad 12

I had some Porblems with my fonts collection after the update 10.6.2 and had to delete some of the fonts (most of them because they were duplicates)
Now I really have problems with archicad on startup. Archicad 12 crashes every time immediatly.
I later tried to upgrade to archicad 13, it also crashes, but with a different failure log.
I reinstalles 10.6 from the DVD but doesn´t help.
I hope you can help me with these issues.

attached are both of the two reports

Hi Arctik99,

I trimmed away the bits of your lengthy crash logs that don't matter for reporting purposes - only the crashed thread matters - and both crashes are indeed font-related.

Have you worked your way through this Wiki article on Snow Leopard? It is likely that you still have some 'bad' fonts on your system:

HTH,

Thanks a lot for this fast answer.
However none of these fonts were installed...
But the following worked out for me:
I downloaded FontExplorerX from Linotype and cleaned the font folder to have just the formerly installed ones (the fonts installed by macos) left.
AFterwards I installed them again.
Now it works fine.

[Anonymous]

ok. crashes again.
so as long as the fonts are enabled on startup it works fine.
time to find out which of the 700 fonts is responsible for this failure..

[Anonymous]

the "bad" font was Druckschrift95

Thanks for the sleuthing and posting the result. I'll add this font to the wiki list.

Cheers,
Karl
