    i do have major issues
    font issues

    i use font explorer x for font management and that seems to be where things went wrong for me

    after the installation/upgrade i noticed in font explorer that about half of the system font files were now missing. i went from i think 300 something to 146 fonts total in my system fonts

    the font issues that came up:
    address book randomly displaying everything as bold, italic and large fonts
    mail displaying things as italics and bolds
    firefox' interface font being screwed up and several websites displaying fonts incorrectly

    i fixed the first 2 issues by cleaning the system font cache and system font folders

    the firefox/websites issue seems to have something to do with duplicates. for example the system has a helvetica activated. i however have the adobe helveticas activated too. deactivating all the fonts of the same families as the ones in the system fonts seemed to have fixed a large chunk of this firefox font problem.

    it's still a pain in the ass though, hopefully apple comes with a fix. i dont have the time to do a clean install

    i was wondering if taking the standard system fonts folders off of another leopard installation and putting them on mines would work (if i would deactivate all my other fonts and perhaps throw font explorer off and reinstall)

    other than this issue i like snow leopard
    it's definitely faster
    it gets a bit buggy in spaces/expose though
