I had a post a few weeks ago concerning a strange behaviour of Terminal in Panther. In the Terminal window, only the red button appears, nothing else, and I can't zoom the window.

When I had this problem before, I tried every solution: disable haxies (windowshade), update Panther, archive + install, and finally a clean re-install, the oonly thing that worked.

I was careful this time not to install any haxies. No Tinkertool, Windowshade nor Cocktail (even if I paid for them).

The problem reappeared for no apparent reason I can think of.

I trashed the prefs.

What's the problem?

Thanks.

I had the same problem and traced it to a disabled font. Just go into fontbook and enable all the fonts. A restart may be needed. I don't remember if I had to or not. Hope this helps.

It worked, thanks for the prompt reply.

Strange bug. I'm not very happy with the way fonts are handled in OS X. Too many fonts everywhere. OS 9 used to be really clever with fonts.
