SYMPTOMS
========
Foreign language or special characters in the text of a review or cast list may
display as boxes or as some other incorrect character.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because of a conflict between the appropriate Lucida font
(installed with Cinemania) and another font previously installed on the system.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, do the following:
1. Delete the V Lucida Sans font suitcase.
2. Using Finder, reinstall the V Lucida Sans font suitcase from the Cinemania
CD.
3. Use Finder to reinstall any add-on font packages.
The special and foreign characters should now display correctly.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Apple system fonts are assigned certain ID numbers. When add-on fonts are
installed, they must use ID numbers in a different range than that reserved for
the system fonts. Sometimes a conflict can occur when a program other than the
Finder (for example, an application's installer program) designates the add-on
fonts' ID numbers. Allowing Finder to reset these ID numbers corrects the
problem.
