FontExplorer vs Illustrator CS argh!

I installed the latest version of FontExplorer (http://www.linotype.com/fontexplorer) and then my Illustrator CS wouldn't load. Kept crashing. It even kept my system disc from being able to complete a round of permissions repair! Weird.

I completely removed Suitcase from my work system here; wonder if that did anything? Illustrator would auto load the FontExplorer X plug in and would crash every time at that point.

I'm on system 10.3.9. I have the same apps and system at home and can use FontExplorer just fine. Anyone heard of known issues with FE and Illus CS? I think I removed Suitcase from the home comp, but not sure.

Any help appreciated.

works fine here…

Can't you remove the FEX plugin? I never use it...

I disabled font auto-activation and that fixed it. Looks like the autoactivate plug in crashes my Illustrator CS every time. Weird. Any reason?

It's more likely that you have a rogue font installed and FEX is crashing when it loads.

I wouldn't think any fonts are loaded beyond the system fonts before FontExplorer starts to load...

You're trying to apply common sense and reason to font management in OSX. Do you see the problem with that?

Funny that we always think these computers of ours will behave logically just because they run on a binary system. He he.

I refuse to put my faith into something that when unplugged is nothing more than a really expensive brick.
