That’s great Andrea! I’ll have to give that a shot. I’ve got LinoType’s Font Explorer X installed here, so I can just disable the culprit fonts in there and hopefully we’ll be able to play again.

holy crap, after far too much time looking for a fix to that blob problem, i *finally* found it!

http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?13@195.ktbOanMTSLW.0@.68b3f7c6/1

“for me, if i disable font “#HeadLineA”, with Font Book, it changes the font within yahoo games but it’s still an ugly cursive script font. i then disabled “#PilGi” font. it’s much easier to read now. i’m not sure what determines the font but it’s a work around.”

the font is still a little weird but hella better than what you have above.

yay! hrm, i’m not entirely sure fixing this is a *good* thing. =D

Well, I’m not the one addicted :) but we still haven’t found a way to
play it on Tiger. Sorry… If anyone has, we’re still dying to know.

Please, please, please tell me if you find a solution to the Word Racer problem. I’m desperately searching for a way to play again. I’m addicted! And I’m really starting to regret installing Tiger for this very reason!!

Oh, the cookie making adventure! Amy (with the help of her sister, sister's boyfriend Sean, mom, dad, and myself) made about 250 bride/groom themed cookies the day before the wedding.

Dear Jason,
What fun to read what you wrote and see the picture of Matt and Katie. I am so glad that the wedding was meaningful for you and that you enjoyed the reception. I wish I could have met you, especially after reading what you wrote. You are right on about women just needing to talk–being a good listener is so important–the advise sometimes happens as we talk–then we know what we are thinking!!! Anyhow, I think Amy has a great husband–from what I read and tell Amy I enjoyed meeting her at Katie’s. The cookie surprise was amazing.
Sincerely,
Sue Stott

I definitely agree with you on �Don�t expect to fix everything�. My wife Amy and I are both stubborn. Here’s a typical conversation:
“I can’t fix something/figure it out.”
“Here, let me try.”
“Don’t touch it, please! I’M working on it!”

It’s not a matter of us wanting to fix the other’s problem, it’s really just us wanting to vent. When we first got married, I wanted to help my wife with stuff, but soon found it’s better to just LISTEN. Great. I can do that. And don’t offer advice. Just keep my pie-hole shut and ears open.
