MacBook with 10.4.8 and lastest iTunes 7.0.2 i think.

When I hide iTunes and then bring it back to front, the fonts are all corrupted.

This is more of a complaint than anything. I wrote to macfixit and they dont seem to be convering it and i wrote to [email protected] and they havent said anything.

weird.

Ok Here is the solution:

1. Open Terminal.
2. Type the following two commands:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR`
open ..
3. In the Finder window that appears, drag the folders -Caches-, -Tmp- and TemporaryItems to the Trash, if they exist.
4. Restart. You may get a message that the boot cache is being rebuilt.

Once you have restarted, your font problem may be gone.

None
of which will work unless the OP [who a) is banned and b) was using 10.4.8 at the time] has since upgraded to Leopard.

I was having that problem and when I was looking for an answer here I didn't find it so I decided to look further and fix it my self, so, as a good person I decided to answer that to this other people that never get any answer at all, so... In my opinion if the problem exists and a solution it's delivered I think it's good anyway. sorry for the delay.
