Only the "Big Box of Art" -- which I don't much like anyway. 

When I look in Font Book, it only has one instance of the particular 
fonts that are causing probs. Argh! I'm going to try uninstalling the 
problem fonts, deleting them from the Classic fonts folder, then copying 
from one of the other machines & re-installing.

Wish me luck!
