No text / no Fonts

[CBeloch]

Hi there,
I have a very strange problem.

I'm using the latest VirtualBox release on my Mac OS X 10.6 machine and since Wednesday It doesn't show any text.
Guests work well, but I's nearly impossible to add or modify new machines.

I already reinstalled the package, but nothing changed... any help?

First thought some font problem.

Try resetting the font caches like this:
(from http://www.ascendercorp.com/support/)

The Mac OS X operating system has numerous font cache files. The easiest way to automatically reset all the font cache files in Mac OS X 10.4 (“Tiger”) and later is to restart in Safe Mode (also known as a “Safe Boot”):
• Shut the computer off.
• Press the power button.
• Immediately after hearing the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
• Release the SHIFT key after the Apple logo and spinning gear (progress indicator).
• Restart the computer without holding down any keys.

For older Mac OS X versions, or to manually remove the font cache files, they are found here:
• com.apple.ATS.System.fcache
• com.apple.ATSServer.FODB_System
• /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS
• /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/Classic.fcache
• /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/Local.fcache
• /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/System.fcache
• /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/FondResourceCache
• /Library/Preferences folder: com.apple.ATS.plist
• /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS.System.fcache
• /System/Library/Caches/fontTablesAnnex

If that doesnt help use fontbook to validate your fonts. ( use google to see how)

Hi all,

I have this same problem. I fixed my font library in font book and did shift reboot and than reboot again but still no luck.
Anyone knows how i can solve this problem? Thanks in advance!
