Hello. I met a critical problem for running Mathematica 4.1 on MacOS X 10.2. (OSX native version) I hope such a problem is suitable to be posted to this ML. What happens is the following. When Mathematica 4.1 installed in HDD is started, a window quickly appears saying that "A serious error has occured while Mathematica was starting up. Mathematica will probably not function properly until this problem is resolved." ... "The Mathematica fonts are not properly installed in your system. Without these fonts, typeset mathematical expressions cannot be displayed properly." This message is correct. If I chose "Continue Anyway", mathematical expressins are totally broken. What is strange is that when I start Mathematica 4.1 by double clicking Mathematica in CDROM, it works without any problem. Further more, Once Mathematica 4.1 is correctly started in this way, I can restart Mathematica directly from double clicking Mathematica in HDD, which is the installed one. Once CDROM is ejected, the error appears again. It is clearly font related problem but I do not know how to solve. If someone know how to manage, please let me know. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Toshinao Ishii mailto: ici at ici.mine.nu Hello.
