Folks,

I have a little problem here - Safari will not open. When I click it, the icon bounces a few times in the dock and then I get the "Safari has unexpectedly quit" message. Let me explain the events leading up to this and the troubleshooting steps I've already attempted.

The Cause?
Everything was cool yesterday before I started downloading some freeware fonts from a site (www.sharkshock.com). I started installing the fonts in Font Book and had nothing strange happen. After installing several fonts, I decided to check my email. One email was a Macrumors reply notification. I clicked the link in it and noticed the problem for the first time.

Troubleshooting Steps
1) I logged out then logged back in. No luck.
2) I restarted the computer. Nothing.
3) I reinstalled Safari. Still no luck.
4) I checked out the troubleshooting page on Apple's Support site and went through all the steps. There, I learned that the problem was isolated in my home directory. (I switched users and had no trouble opening the app.)
5) I dragged Safari to the trash, emptied it, then reinstalled Safari a second time. The problem persisted.

I guess I will pull every file out of the Home directory and keep trying. (Before, I only tested the files listed on the Support page.)

I'm running Panther on a 1 GHz iMac. (Luckily, my new 12" PB will be here today.) I really don't like Explorer so if someone could help me get Safari back up and running, I'd be very appreciative.

Cheers,

Squire
 
Actually, I guess this is half of it:

You should throw all that in "code" brackets.

Did you try to remove the Safari .plist?
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

I'm sorry to say, to me it looks like your installed font is interfering with Safari. You didn't change Safari's default font did you? Anyway, Panther is SUPER sensitive to fonts. I'd disable all the fonts that you installed and one by one enable them until you find the culprit.

Suspicious: ->
Code: 
0 com.apple.WebKit 0x9530927c -[WebTextRenderer initWithFont:usingPrinterFont:] + 0x138
 
Try removing the fonts you installed.

The try deleting the Safari folder located in ~/Library/Safari

And just for the heck of it, try deleting the Safari folder located in ~/Library/Caches/Safari
 
Thanks! I'm up and running again. I deleted the fonts. That's rather strange that they'd cause that much trouble. Hmmph.

<edit> I just deleted all the fonts and dragged them back into the Font folder until Safari wouldn't work again. There were 2 fonts that caused the problems.

Thanks, again.

Problem #2

OK...here's the next little problem: I have the two fonts in the trash but I can't empty the trash because it says they're in use. I know there's probably a simple solution to this (like, "Force Empty" or something). Can anyone help me out?

Thanks again.

P.S. Macrumors rules.

<edit> Secure Empty Trash worked.
 
Looks like you solved it. For what its worth. I had Safari and font issues as well. Took me FOREVER to diagnose.

Whenever something odd goes on with your system, always try to backtrack though what you recently did. Instal a new app? Fonts? Delete a file? etc. Usually you can trouble shoot your way out of it.

Yeah, I guess that's what I did (with the help of you guys). It's situations like this where I really appreciate OS X. I mean, it would have been better to have no problems at all, but I find I'm much more successful at figuring stuff out in OS X than in Windows.
