Card titles under OS 10.6, Scrivener 1.5.2/3

Card titles are behaving erratically under Mac OS 10.6 and Scrivener 1.5.2 and 1.5.3. I’ve made a screencast showing the behavior and uploaded it at screenr.com/6t8

It appears to be some sort of unicode issue… the care titles change when switching to/from other windows (browser, or even just the About Scrivener dialog box) or when switching between documents within Scrivener.

Did you check your FontBook? I remember some people mentioning that some of their fonts had been corrupted upon their system update to 10.6, which I think produced this effect.

Hi,

This seems to be a bug in Snow Leopard itself, whereby the update is duplicating and corrupting certain fonts (including Courier, which is used in the corkboard). Please see the following threads, which describe the problem and explain the solution (Tarkine’s information is particularly helpful).

Hope that helps.
All the best,

Right and right. I didn’t look far enough back thru bug reports or think to search for “garbled”.

Be sure, if using the automatic “resolve duplicates” option that the fonts turned off are, in fact, the bad version of fonts.
