I am an avid MAC user and was thinking of getting a new one?
So I don't want to run into that problem myself. Good to know.
I always had trouble with older postscript fonts and newer apps but
occasionally a true type would throw a monkey wrench.
Best,

Cheers for the heads up Steve. I got to the bottom of this CS4
crash issue on my G5 last night. The culprit - FONTS.
I went through every single fonts I had in my machine (god knows
how many - some of them were originally installed on my various
ancient Macs before even you were born) in Font Book and deleted
all the fonts did not pass the validation test.
That was it. After got lid of all the dodgy fonts and duplicates,
CS4 runs on my G5 as it should do - no crash whatsoever.
Just to let you know I did save the FLA as CS3, just in time before
CS4 crashes (I had about 20 seconds to play before the crash) but
noticed my FLA didn't compile in CS3 because of ColorMatrix etc not
available in CS3. Not a workaround there.
Funny thing is the same set of fonts have no issues on my Quad
Intel Mac.

Hi mate,
You sound as stressed as me.
I am sure that CS4 was designed to be run better on Intel Macs.
I would reinstall CS3 and back-save your flash files to CS3 if you
are on a deadline.
Also the online help is not online on CS3 - which is much better.
You'll probably get better performance out of CS3 on a G5 anyway.
If this is not an option - turn off "Spaces."
Try and work locally and back up stable versions regularly.
Make sure your hard drive has at least 10-15GB free - that always
affects me.
I wish you good luck and fortune. From a fellow flash coder who is
also going through hell. :(
