Validate that font, I think it's a bug of Font Book in Leopard, I don't think it's corrupted, I've also replaced it with a Bauhaus 93 from a friend of mine and displays the same error in Font Book validation... All works fine (except Font Book I think ;-) ) .

Bleach supposedly leaves a bad aftertaste; maybe Ethan could enlighten us on that part. “Do you label every bottle in your house from bleach to soda ‘Drink Me’?”

Gratis? Sans gratis! (I have no sense of latin grammar.) If anything they'd give you some way to do it from the command line, like <code>sudo asr -source /Volumes/Source -target /Volumes/Backup</code> which Apple say you can do while the system is booted (but I still don't believe it!) although it's not a tidy disk image. Perhaps in conjunction with hdiutil? Oh heck no they wouldn’t ever do that! Gratis? Sans gratis! (I have no sense of latin grammar.)

Do you care if your house is built on sand or rock? Do you label every bottle in your house from bleach to soda "Drink Me"? The engineers of Unix didn't just make up the executable bit just for the fun of it, it's about security. MS better be making sure they are making a secure product and not undermining basic file system security philosophies just because they haven't used PackageMaker before.
