Philip, " For a while there I have been free of the 'Crash when Quit' syndrome, but then it happened to me again. It seems, I thought, to be caused by a project with multiple fonts and graphics on it, but then sometimes that doesn't affect the Quit. The last time it did it to me was Sunday night the 9th, I had PPage, Pagestream and Post running, over a period of time. I've been converting typefaces from MAC format to CG and .PFB running AMAXII and metamorphosis on the MAC emulator to make .AFMs, rebooting and loading FontManager, PPage, and Pagestream, and checking the .PFB fonts with Post to see if they'll load. Plus I was running MI-M2I to convert the MAC format outline fonts to the .PFB format. I've found several Type1 fonts of either Bitstream, or Cassidy & Green Type Foundries that Fontmanager hangs on and refuses to Abort, it just keeps on running the fuel gauge on the right stopped either 1/4 to 2/3rds of the way from full until the system just locks up. Sometimes I just ignore the lockup and go test the fonts in PPage or Pagestream until they're window locks up and then reboot. I've seen the yellow alert screen, but it doesn't recover it just cycles back and forth, finally locking up, a reboot gets me the red screen and usually an 8100 for part of the error code. BTW I sent you a sample problem Type 1 font to examine. That one gets nearly completed in FontManager, but hangs up eventually. I've tried every conversion trick the programs I have will allow. I even loaded it into Font Studio and made a new font family from it, but my version only makes Type 3 fonts. So now I'm going to try and load the Type 3 I made into Metamorphosis Professional and tell it to convert the type 3 to Type 1. See if it does it. Let me know if you find out anything about that typeface. Chris
