I'm running OS X 10.6.1 on a MacBook Pro w/ 2.16 GHZ Intel Core Duo processor and 2 GB memory.

Thanks.

I looks like deleting the font files in ~/Library/Fonts, logout and login cleared up whatever problem VirtualBox was having during startup. I'm now able to start VirtualBox. Yea! Now to make sure that I can run virtual machines ;-)

Thanks for the suggestions from everyone.

My folder /Users/[username]/Library/Fonts is already empty and VirtualBox 3.0.8 is hanging. :cry:
I didn't have to clean it.
I've updated VB from 3.0.6 to 3.0.8 and installed Snow Leopard yesterday.

Which fonts did you have in this folder?

At least, I could solve this problem installing VB 3.0.4.

I did a search for some of the font names (arial) and found all the locations I had fonts - delete all of them but the one set and VB was up and running for me.

Thanks for the tip.
