Hi Dave,

Before assuming your fonts are okay, use Font Book to remove duplicates.
You'll find Font Book in your Applications folder. When you open it, you'll
see a listing of all your fonts. Many of them probably have a small black
dot to the right; that means there are duplicates.

Click on the name of the font to select it and go to Edit> Resolve
Duplicates. When you're finished, all of the dupes will have been disabled.

You can also use Font Book to disable the fonts that are causing the error
messages. Maybe you're right and they're not corrupt, but disabling them
temporarily will tell you for sure.

Also, when you deleted the font caches, did you also pull the Classic font
file to the desktop (or rename it)?
