Trouble with Notes Client on OS X

Hi, I’m having trouble running the Notes Client R6 + 6.01 on Mac OS X 10.2.4.Everything installs and works just fine for 1 to 2 days and then the Notes Client crashes out of the blue.

It will not start again until i remove my ~/Library/Preferences/Notes/Notes Preferences.

After which it offers me to make a new setup or stick to my old one - choosing either it crashes again.

A clean (?) unstall of everything in /Applications/Lotus Notes (exept my .id and names.nsf) and fresh installation of the client doesn’t help.

As I’m rather new to OS X i’m pretty clueless if this is really a clean method of getting rid of everything related to notes.

Only thing that worked (again for 2 Days) was a clean Installation of Mac OSX.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated…

My System is a new dual 1.25 PMac (FW 800) with a GIG RAM running 10.2.4 (german) Version.

I haven’t had the time to test if this Problem will occour unter 10.2.3.

Subject: FIXED | Trouble with Notes Client on OS X

OK on a secound thought I was able to nail down the problem myself…

I am now able to reproduce this crash.

The fault on my side (or bug on the client side ?) was to install a huge amount of fonts on my OS 9 Partition (System Folder/Fonts).

I put some 68 Megs of Fonts in a seperate subfolder there. Which seems to be causing the problem.

Well I know that this is not exactly the best way to install fonts - but I was just to lazy to read up some font-management how-tos under OS X.

… well call me a newbie :slight_smile:
