mac os 10.6.2 archicad 12/13 crashes on startup

Hello,
first of all: I am using the student version of archicad 12

I had some Porblems with my fonts collection after the update 10.6.2 and had to delete some of the fonts (most of them because they were duplicates)
Now I really have problems with archicad on startup. Archicad 12 crashes every time immediatly.
I later tried to upgrade to archicad 13, it also crashes, but with a different failure log.
I reinstalles 10.6 from the DVD but doesn´t help.
I hope you can help me with these issues.

attached are both of the two reports

Hi Arctik99,

I trimmed away the bits of your lengthy crash logs that don't matter for reporting purposes - only the crashed thread matters - and both crashes are indeed font-related.

Have you worked your way through this Wiki article on Snow Leopard? It is likely that you still have some 'bad' fonts on your system:

HTH,

Thanks a lot for this fast answer.
However none of these fonts were installed...
But the following worked out for me:
I downloaded FontExplorerX from Linotype and cleaned the font folder to have just the formerly installed ones (the fonts installed by macos) left.
AFterwards I installed them again.
Now it works fine.

ok. crashes again.
so as long as the fonts are enabled on startup it works fine.
time to find out which of the 700 fonts is responsible for this failure..
