These two files are "de rigeure" for OS 8.6. The best one, which can work from the HD, is Alsoft's free FOND RESOURCE FIXER. Corrupt FOND Fixer is an application that repairs all corrupt FOND resources created by the Mac OS 8.6 Font Manager bug. It is not necessary to use Corrupt FOND Fixer unless you are using Mac OS 8.6. Run this first, then install the Font Manager Update Extension from Apple. This will include another fixing utility but the one from Alsoft is better and easier to use. You don't have to boot from CD, etc. Just toss the one that comes from Apple.
