It crashes most often, probably 95% of the time when I click onto a different page in the page palette. Whenever it does crash, the Apple report screen pops up, then the Adobe crash screen pops up, and if I click ok to do the "recover" thing for that file on that Adobe pop-up screen, it will crash immediately, every time. Whenever I open a file from Bridge, it crashes more often then if I were to go to InDesign, File, Open. It will crash eventually, but it seems to hang in for a while so I can get something done before it does crash.
I did a reboot in safe mode and then rebooted in regular mode, but the result was the same. I did the Command + S to see if that would work, but nothing. I did the OnyX thing, but no improvement. Also tried the verify and repair under the Disk Utility, but again, no improvement. I still have to try your way of deleting the Indd CS4 plist, as well as re-installing the OS and then only installing one app at a time.
Here's the odd thing. I purchased my mac, which is a 2 x 2.26 Quad–Core Intel Xeon, with 6 GB of ram, this past April, and I didn't run into a problem with any apps crashing, until two weeks ago, and I was still running Leopard. I tried everything, but nothing worked, so I bought Snow and did a secure erase and install, but it was the same if not worse than before. So, I went back to Leopard, doing a secure erase and install. Results are the same, but it seems like it takes longer before it crashes now.
In the past, I've used Mac's Fontbook, but ran into problems with the app handling the fonts as well as the computer freezing up on numerous occasions. So, I decided to go with Suitecase, which was better than fontbook, but there was still a boat load of problems with that app as well. I heard rave reviews about FontExplorer and decided to go with that, and it has worked great, with no problems, and I've used it since Panther on my old computer. I have just a little over 15,000 fonts and FontExplorer has managed them without any problems, crashes, etc.
