)> There have been a few reports of problems with fonts on Macs.  These
)seem all to be related to a GhostScript upgrade - I think an upgrade to
)8.70?  Perhaps you're seeing a similar problem?
)
)That font problem on Macs occurred when the OS was upgraded to OSX
)10.6.7.  It appears to be a problem in ATS, the Apple Type Server.  The OP
)reports that he is using OSX 10.4.11, so I think it's unlikely that he has been
)affected by this problem.
)
)A lot of potential solutions to the Mac font problem have been proposed,
)including:
)  *  downgrading to OSX 10.6.6
)  *  download a program called Onyx and using it to address the problem
)somehow
)  *  clearing the font caches and restarting
)
)I tried several of these solutions and didn't find that they solved the
)whole problem.  The best I did was to have everything look ok except for
)the notehead in a MM metronome marking.
)
)A user has developed what looks like a good fix for the problem in OSX
)10.6.7, namely to replace the new ATS modules with the old, 10.6.6
)modules.  I have installed this fix on my MacPro, and find so far that it is
)effective and it doesn't seem to have any undesirable side effects.

There is a fix out of the 10.6.7 'problem' from apple - check the 'get updates'
