Mac OS 10.6.7 corrupt font on export from Word to PDF

Hi,
I have a library of Word documents that use our corporate font: Officina Sans ITC Pro Book. I have previously saved these as PDF using Word for Mac and opening in Acrobat Pro 9 without any difficulty.
Today however, while Word will export and create the PDF. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat it comes up blank and crashes Acrobat. I have tried exporting from Word to PostScript, but this fails: "Stack:/Font-dict-/ZCYKUX+OfficinaSansITCPro-Book".
The font is avialable on the Mac. I have validated the font and using Font Finagler I have cleared the cache. All without success.
One pointer is the additional six digits in the PS log, which is in front of the font name.
Anyone got any ideas on how to clear the problem and start export cleanly from Word to PDF again?
Thanks,
Niall

Thanks Steve,
The link described our situation. You are correct: yes our font is OpenType PostScript and, yes I had updated to OS 10.6.7.
I have been busy reading. For other readers there is a long thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2792142&start=0&tstart=0, where I see that you have also participated.
I have posted constructive critisim to Apple on the OS update. However I don't think there will be a quick fix.
I will probably downgrade back to 10.6.6, but need to steel myself for the task.
Thanks also to Larry and Michael!

Font Conversion issues from Word to PDF

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9 and Word 2007. My Word document has Heading styles with numbers, and a table of contents is built upon the styles. Every font is Arial. When I convert the Word document to PDF, the numbering all turns to Times New Roman, but the text remains Arial. Help. How can I fix this?
Linda

You were right, it was a Word numbering style issue. I have finally figured it out and it appears to be working correctly now.
Thanks,

Corrupt crosslinks when exported from InDesign to PDF

Two of my colleagues are using Indesign on win7 64 bit computers.
CS 4, one computer has indesign version 6.0.4, the other computer has version 6.0.5 - and that is the computer where our problem is.
When we open a file in indesign and chose the alternative Export to PDF, export with hyperlinks and bookmarks, a pdf-file is created. Some of the links are ok, but most of them doesn´t work. The properties for the link seems to be ok with the correct destination name. (and if we try to export the same indesign file from the other computer all links are ok, so the orignal file must be ok?)
We have tried to create a new user account on the computer, with full admin-permissions.
Any other ideas, anyone?

I´m not a user of the program myself, so i´m not definetely sure... What we have done on the problematic computer is to reset the settings. We got help to remove some setting-files.
Are there any specific settings that you might know about, that could cause this kind of trouble? We have checked in acrobat that "use hyperlinks" (?) is marked under Edit, Preferences,

All Adobe PS fonts mysteriously removed from Word 2000 font library

HELP !
Operating System:     Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4
Word Processor:        Office 2000 (including Word 2000) with Service Pack 3
Adobe Type Manager Deluxe:     Version 4 .1 installed May 24, 2000, Serial Number XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXX.
Adobe Postscript Fonts:     The entire library.
On September 12, 2010, I opened up a Word document created in 1992 on my computer using Adobe postscript font AvantGarde.
I immediately saved the document in the latest version of Word (i.e., Word 2000).
I then highlighted the bolded caption to change the font size from 12 points to 13 points.     "13" is not on the font size drop down menu, so it has to be typed in manually. I did that.
The second I pressed the "Enter" key, the following events occurred:
               The entire Adobe postscript font library disappeared from the Word 2000 drop down list of available fonts;
               The installation date of the Adobe PS fonts all changed to the date I hit the "Enter" key (i.e., 9/12/2010);
                The file size of each font changed to "OK";
                The attributes of each Adobe PS font changed to "AC";
                The file name of each Adobe PS font was broken by the insertion of an ____ in the file name; I don't know if it replaced any existing characters in the file name;
                 All the Adobe postscript fonts remain in the Master Font List of Adobe Type Manager Deluxe 4.1, as well as the Adobe folder containing all the Adobe PS fonts;
                 Every Word document ever created on our computer formatted in Adobe PS AvantGarde - about 95% of all our documents - defaulted to either Courier or Avant Guard (pronounce the same, but spelled differently); "Avant Guard" is a true type font.
Adobe Tech support personnel were unable to assist me and suggested I present this problem to the Forum.
I have the name of the engineers who developed Adobe Type Manager Deluxe 4.1, as well as its technical specifications from Help.
Adobe postscript font "Avantgarde" is practically our firm's logo. Readers recognize our work just by the font. It's one of the most beautiful and readable fonts in the entire Adobe library.
                 I have no reason to believe the document itself that I opened was corrupted.
                 I have a complete back-up of our entire Adobe postscript library on a 100 MB ZipDisk, but I don't know if simply reinstalling the font files will correct the problem.     I don't want to make things worse by blind experiment.
                 All other font types remain in our Word font library list and are fully accessible; but none are as readable or as beautiful as postscript fonts.
                 Unfortunately, I am not a computer "techie", but I can follow instructions if I understand them.
                 Sincerely appreciative of knowledgeable assistance, I remain
                 Very truly yours,

(1)     Never post a serial number of a product you've licensed on a public forum. We have taken the responsible liberty of replacing that serial number in your post with a series of Xs.
(2)     This forum is associated with the PostScript programming language. Your problem has nothing to do with that whatsoever, but rather, with an event that somewhat mucked up fonts on your host computer system. If anyone in Adobe Technical Support told you to post on the PostScript forum, they were dead wrong. We are sorry for that bum information provided by our Technical Support organization.
(3)     Adobe Type Manager Deluxe has not been supported by Adobe in any way for well over five years.
(4)     There should be nothing that Microsoft Word or the user of same could do within Microsoft Word to cause the symptoms you describe. Neither Word nor Office do anything to uninstall fonts or modify the fonts.
(5)     Without explicitly invoking ATM, ATM has no functionality or for that matter any known bugs that would cause the symptoms you describe.
(6)     Windows' Font Control Panel likewise has no functionality or any known bugs that would cause the symptoms you describe.
Any attempt to further analyze what happened on your computer would be totally a wide-assed guess. However, I could imagine hardware problems with your disk drive causing the type of symptoms you describe. If in fact you are using a computer system that was installed in May 2000 and especially if you are using the original disk drive, I suspect your luck in terms of system longevity may just have given out. (Ten years for a computer system and especially a disk drive is pretty long). Zip Disk? You'd better back that up to something more modern. Neither the drives nor media are readily available for that format anymore.

Embedding font problems (when exporting from InDesign to PDF)

A message alert is shown, when opening a pdf - after exporting from InDesign: Cannont exctract the embedded Font Frutiger.
We have uninstalled the frutiger font and installed an open type. But the font is not embedded anyhow..?
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.
Jane

I don't know if you need help scripting this, but...........
If you can not re-create the PDF from InDesign using the OTF,
In Acrobat, highlight the text with the acrobat touch-up text tool, right click and go to properties. You should be able to assign the OTF font running on you system, and select the embed option.
If not, this is why PitStop is an indespensable (sp?) tool.
Best of luck

Acrobat X Converts Non-Bold Font to Bold From Word Doc

I had used Acrobat 8 at work for over three years with no problems converting any MS Office documents to PDF files. I've purchased Acrobat X Pro for my use at home and now every time I try to convert a Word file (either a doc or a docx), it changes the font on the first page to bold and leaves the second page normal, as the original font in the Word file. I'm not using an especially unusual font (tried it with both Californian and Antiqua, with the same results) and the font shows as embedded in the Acrobat properties, so I don't think that's the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, is this just one of those "improvements" that renders the software useless, or is it possible this is something they hope to fix soon?

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking the font for changes". In the Word file, only items that are supposed to be bold show as bold; in Adobe, the first page shows entirely as bold and the properties show that I have both regular, italic, and bold fonts - which is correct, because the original Word file has both regular, italic, and bold fonts in it - just not where they are supposed to be (at least on the first page). Second page is fine. And, as I mentioned, "converting it from Word 2007 using Save As PDF" - that *is* using the plug in. My point is that whether using the Word PDF plug in or converting directly using Acrobat X created the problem. I say "created" because this morning, it seems to be working fine. No rhyme. No reason. Not doing anything differently. I do know that I've seen a similar problem in a PDF letter I received from a colleague who was using Acrobat X (while I was still using 8). She reviewed the original Word file and, like mine, it was fine, it was just in converting that the problem arose. So I've decided that the solution involves rebooting one's 'droid. It seems that 21st century solutions are the same as they were a quarter of a century ago. Oh joy.
Thanks to all for the input, though.

Page numbering/imbedded font issue ~ converting from Word 2003?

I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this issue has been addressed 100 times already!
I am preparing a novel for publication through Createspace (Amazon). Their requirements include that the fonts all be imbedded, and that page numbering begins with '1' on the first page of the story. When I convert my properly numbered word 2003 file to pdf, it comes out looking great, but the page numbers begin with 5 on first page of the story. So I have 2 questions:
If the pages look okay in terms of font, does that mean that my fonts are correctly imbedded in the pdf?
and
Is there a way for me to control the page numbering so it begins with 1 on the first story page?
Thanks in advance!

I'm terribly sorry for the trouble. We are working to address the problem with page numbers in an upcoming release, but for now I recommend you try the conversion again using Adobe Acrobat desktop software. You could download a free 30 day trial if needed here:

Mac: no PDFMaker, so printing from Word to PDF has inactive links

I have written a fabulous document in Microsoft Word, which has paragraph numbering, and many ‘Insert > Cross-reference…’ links to paragraphs. And it contains lots of ‘Insert > Hyperlink…’ links to external documents. It’s fabulous.
If I saved this to PDF using a Windows machine, those links would work in the PDF. Clicking on a cross-reference would jump there; clicking on an external link would command the default browser to do the obvious thing. Hurray!
But on the Mac, the external links aren’t there. Not if I do “Save as PDF…”, nor if I do it via Adobe Acrobat XI with “Save as Adobe PDF”.
If the link text is there “http://…” then the PDF reader guesses it is a link, and it works. But if ordinary words have been made into a link, it is formatted as a link but is inactive.
Please, how can Adobe be persuaded to release PDFMaker for the Mac? Or otherwise make this work? (Adobe Acrobat XI: Help and tutorials (September 2013), on page 46: “PDFMaker is not available for Mac OS. However, you can still create PDFs from many business applications using the File > Print command. In the Print dialog box, choose Save AsAdobe PDF from the PDF menu.”)
FYI, I also asked this question on the Microsoft side, but other than discovering that PDFMaker would solve my problem if it existed for the Mac, that didn’t help.
Versions:
Mac: OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
Word: Word for Mac 2011 Version 14.4.3 (140616)
Adobe Acrobat XI: 11.0.09

Actually PDF Maker has never been available on the MAC as I understand it. At Buying guide | Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it is indicated that PDF Maker is available on on Windows (has a little dagger that indicates this and is probably hard to catch). I can understand that it may be related to the way that OFFICE is written for the MAC. One of the members drops by to help folks with MAC issues like this at times. He apparently has some work-arounds. If the MS PDF plugin will create the links on the MAC, then an alternative is to print the document to an temp file and create the base file with the plugin, then use replace pages to get the printed version included, or just live with the MS produced version. I don't remember if the MS plugin creates the bookmarks and such.

TLF Font Size different from Word, Excel, Google Docs

I have Times New Roman size 10 font. In Word, Excel, and Google Docs the height of "Mg" in pixels is 12 but in my application and in the TLF Demo application the height is 9 pixels.
Anyone know why?
Thanks

fontSize in FlashPlayer is in pixels not points and FlashPlayer has a 72 DPI screen resolution (see flash.system.Capabilities.screenDPI). These other apps may have a better handle on actual screen DPI. You could try scaling the fontSize setting.

Corruption of weblinks containing '%20' when exporting from pages to pdf

When I export a document in pages to a pdf file, embedded weblinks which contain the code '%20' as part of the web address (which I understand to be HTML code for a space?) these are converted to '%2520' which then leave the weblinks unusable. Any ideas on how to fix this, is this a known bug in Pages?

Yes, %20 is code for space. %25 is code for %, hence %2520. I don't think this is just Pages having problems. It reads/translate what is written. I have seen numeral times in saved web pages opened again in browser. Sometimes the URLs work anyway and sometimes not.
My advise is that you change all %20 to space before saving. Can be done with the search function, Cmd + F in Pages.

Corrupted Font, PDF File detection in illustrator

Hello,
I am new to illustrator.Is there any way to know in illustrator using javascript that the opened PDF have corrupted fonts inside?.Two cases, first in which font is available in our system and other in which font is not available in our system.If font is not available in our system the Illustrator ask to replace the font with some other default font but if the font is available in our system it just takes the orignal correct font from system and make the corrupted PDF font, correct.In both the cases corrupted font is not coming in the PDF opened in illustrator.In javascript textFont abject is perfect, it has all the properties which a normal textFont object must have.

Joy,
Understand: The alert you describe is telling you that a font embedded in the PDF is not available for use in the OS. The font is just missing, not "corrupted."
An actual corrupted font can manifest itself in many errant and unpredictable ways in Illustrator; the program doesn't "know" the font is corrupted; it just suffers from whatever damage the corruption causes--like any other kind of corrupted file.
When you open a PDF in Illustrator, the dialog in the standard user interface gives you opportunity to replace a missing font with one that is installed, or ignore it (in which case the default font will be substituted.) As to whether Javascript can be written to automate that, I doubt that the detection of the alerts and the options for answering them are supported in the Javascript model. Moreover, the "answers" would probably have to be written for your specific set of available fonts if you want it to answer with a substitution. But I've never explored that, so I'll defer to anyone who has.

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts? An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created. Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC. When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

Mac Pro 5,1 Freezes & Pinwheels at Boot, Corrupt Font to Blame?

Hello, all. This is my first post on the Apple Support communities as I have a very strange issue that seems to be nowhere else on the Internet, so I'll ask it here before running off to my local Genius Bar.
I'm running a Mac Pro Mid 2010, with a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon and 16GB DDR3 RAM. The only aftermarket/third-party component I have installed is a Blackmagic Intensity Pro internal video capture device, which, to my knowledge, works perfectly.
I am currently typing this on my third re-install of Mountain Lion, as I have not been able to advance to the login screen after I boot my Mac Pro, due to freezing and the spinning pinwheel.
I may have an idea what's causing this issue, but I'm not sure how to pinpoint it, remove it or figure out what to do. It may be tied to a conflicting Geneva font, located in (my name) > Library > Fonts. This is not the "True" Geneva font, as that is located in the System > Library > Fonts folder on my primary hard drive. This "impostor" Geneva has a ".ttf" file extension while the original Geneva's extension is .dfont.
Here's an image of the window that pops up:
Before the problem happened (and before the boot freezing happened), I selected "Move To Trash" and thought nothing of it, seeing as though it's a fairly standard warning message.
On my first re-installation, I selected "Move To Trash". I did not see the font in the trash but had other files there and securely emptied it. I rebooted shortly afterward and the system locked up/pinwheeled before the login screen. On my second re-installation, I selected "Ignore Conflict" but I ended up with the same result. Notice the impostor "Geneva" seems to have a lock near its filename. Maybe this is what's holding it up.
The only other common message OSX gives me on each installation is a prompt to install a Java SE 6 Runtime, but it seems to be through the standard Apple Software Update so I doubt it's anything that would corrupt an installation.
These font conflicts stem from fonts that I transferred over from my old PC when I first bought my Mac Pro after Christmas in 2010. No issues have surfaced until now other than minor aesthetic issues that were easily resolved.
Now, I'm left with a dilemma (which is what brought me here). I need to find a way to resolve this, as I think this issue may be what's holding my computer up. I've done research and found that tampering with system fonts will cause your Mac to crash at startup. I'm a freelance video producer so this has been causing me more than a few headaches when attempting to do my work, so I'm scurrying for a result ASAP.
I've tried nearly every method of fixing the issue...repairing my boot disk, verifying/repairing permissions, resetting my password and resolving ACL conflicts, unsuccessfully trying Safe Mode, resetting PRAM and now re-installing Mac OSX. This is most likely an issue on the OS end --- my hardware is working properly, its S.M.A.R.T. status is verified, and permission/disk repair/verify shows no errors. I also have a Boot Camp partition that runs flawlessly --- I can even access folders and files on my Mac from the Windows parition, so it's probably not an issue of a dying hard drive. There's something screwy preventing me from logging in, and short of the first boot after re-installing Mountain Lion, there hasn't been a way to log in normally.
I'd rather not reformat my entire startup drive because of what could be one file conflict, as I have a lot of personal data and presets I'd like to keep. Nevertheless, I have an appointment at my Apple Store's Genius Bar set up for Friday but I'm leaving it as a worst-case scenario as I'd much rather pinpoint these issues myself.
If you've made it this far, thank you for reading this long post. I wanted to be as specific as possible regarding the strange issues happening with my Mac Pro. Hopefully someone has a suggestion out there that doesn't involve reformatting as I'm 90% sure this boot error has to deal with this system font conflict. The other 10% wonders what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance!

First check that you still can't boot as usual. If you can't, see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed, as well as certain other aspects of the configuration that may have a bearing on the problem. Don’t be alarmed by the apparent complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode, if possible. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. If you can only boot in safe mode, you can still use this procedure, but not all of it will work. Be sure to mention that in your reply, if you haven't already done so.
Below are instructions to enter UNIX shell commands. The commands are safe and do nothing but produce human-readable text output, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. I am not asking you to trust me. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
The commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. Step 1 should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
PB="/u*/*/Pl* -c Print"; { echo Loaded kernel extensions:; kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'; echo $'\nLoaded user agents:'; launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'; echo $'\nInserted libraries:'; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo $'\nUser cron tasks:'; crontab -l; echo $'\nGlobal launchd configuration:'; cat /e*/lau*; echo $'\nPer-user launchd configuration:'; cat .lau*; echo $'\nGlobal login items:'; $PB /L*/P*/loginwindow.plist | awk -F'= ' '/Path/{print $2}'; echo $'\nPer-user login items:'; $PB L*/P*/com.apple.loginitems.plist | awk -F'= ' '/Path/{print $2}'; echo $'\nSafari extensions:'; $PB L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist | awk -F'= ' '/Bundl/{print $2}' | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; printf "\nRestricted user files: %s\n" $(find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ | wc -l); echo $'\nExtrinsic loadable bundles:'; cd; find -L /S*/L*/E* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail/Bu,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleIdentifier' "$d/Info.plist" | egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID" && echo ${d%/Contents}; done; echo $'\nUnsigned shared libraries:'; find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b $1 | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v $1' {} {} \; -print; echo; ls -A {,/}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}* L*/Fonts; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A TextEdit window will open with the output. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Remember that you must be logged in as an administrator for this step. Do as in Step 1 with this line:
{ echo "Loaded system agents:"; sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo $'\n'"Login hook:"; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo $'\n'"Root cron tasks:"; sudo crontab -l; echo $'\n'"Log check:"; syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}'; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
You can then quit Terminal.
To prevent confusion, I'll repeat: When you type your password in the Terminal window, you won't see what you're typing.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, set one before taking Step 2. If that’s not possible, skip the step.
Important: If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output of these commands, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
Remember, Steps 1 and 2 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output as text, not as a screenshot.
Please post the contents of the TextEdit window, not the Terminal window.

Office:Mac and Corrupted Fonts

I have installed the office:mac 2004 version but when I try to open any of office applications while trying to optimize font menu performance, I get a message saying xyz font is corrupt and needs to be deleted. Seems like many fonts needs to be deleted.
So I called Microsoft help desk. She asked me to disable all fonts and restart my computer. After the restart now my office applications are working but my entire 235 fonts are disabled.
My computer is a G4 with 10.4.4 operating system. I also have system nine running.
Could anyone help me solve this issue?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, that is a puzzle. Perhaps your problem lies elsewhere. Try the following:
Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If that does not help, then you may have a corrupted font cache and/or preference files. The following may prove helpful:

You can also download one of the several utilities used to perform maintenance and use it to clear the font caches. I recommend Tinkertool System, but there are others from which to choose. You will find them all at www.versiontracker.com.
