I've been running X.2 for almost a year now, and my computer has only had the font panel (you know, the one you use to change fonts and sizes) work once or twice during that entire time.

most programs that use the font panel print this to the console when I try to view it:
[NSCFString characterAtIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds

Yesterday, projectbuilder put this in the console:

** INTERNAL ERROR: Uncaught Exception **

I was wondering if anybody knows how I can fix my problem, particularly if there's a way to do it without reinstalling.

Thanks in advance.

I tried deleting a bunch of cache files (as recommended in an old forum post at Mac OS X Hints) and removing all my fonts. I thought I'd done that before, but maybe not. Anyway, it works now. I had a font called "holiday" that was screwing things up.

(Just thought I'd say so that noone would need to be bothered)
