Font Problem, Can't Activate, Greyed Out

• adev

  I'm using the free version of FontExplorer X, and I have been ever since it came out, but all of a sudden something happened and FEX couldn't even locate any of my fonts in Finder. Everything was greyed out. Even the system fonts!

  I removed all the fonts, did all the Clean XXX folders in FEX, rebooted, and readded my fonts. But they're still greyed out. FEX can now located the fonts on the drive properly, but it won't let me activate. Everything other than the system fonts now shows "Not Available" in the preview.

  Any ideas how to fix?

  I just downloaded the trial of FEX Pro, no dice. Didn't fix anything.

  might be time for the snow leopard repair disc

  hmm so I can add fonts into FontBook and activate them no problem. FEX and FEX Pro don't work. :(

  the old free version of fontexplorer x is definitely not compatible with snow leopard, you've probably borked something.
