It may not be an MPL issue, but rather Snow Leopard. I have a friend who had font troubles, but it was because Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) changed the way fonts are handled. He had a file in his home directory (which he created on 10.5) which had some font specifications, which he had to alter/remove to fix his trouble.
I can't remember any more details, but thought I would share in case this helps.
