We have a recipe to fix font problems here. However, as explained in another post, I have uploaded a revised Fonts.PDF which gives more information about all the problems that affect the fonts within Accordance and in other programs.

Thanks Helen for the recipe. I tried all the steps up to disabling font smoothing yet still could not get my GNT to show properly. I did however, find another solution that seems to work at least for my system:

1. Close Accoradance if it is open.
2. In Font Book, right click and remove the following font families:
- Helena
- MSS
- Sylvanus
- Yehudit
3. Run the Font Fixer
4. Reopen Accordance.

This method removes the entire font family rather than attempting to selectively remove the ones causing problems.

As an aside, I wonder if it was the update from OSX 10.4.3 to 10.4.4 that broke these fonts. It was working previous to that.
