I still think this is a font problem.
Yesterday, the FinderPop menu showed the programs in Helvetica rather than the system font, which I think is Lucida Grande. I re-installed 10.6.3, among other troubleshooting (after I got a kernel panic), and everything seems okay, though the Finder is sluggish.
The Fonts folder in Users>myname>Library>Fonts contains only:
encodings.dir
fonts.dir
fonts.list
fonts.scale
Granted, I have Font Book set to "Computer" when it comes to installing fonts rather than "Users," so I wouldn't expect to see any fonts there. Also, I did a lot of messing around with fonts in a lot of folders the last couple weeks. Suffice it to say I may have deleted or moved something I shouldn't have.
But I don't recall ever seeing these four files. What are they?
