Expanding on the previous thread, I created a new account on my Mac (which
presumably offers a clean sheet for FreeHand to run on). I pulled the fonts
folder out of Macintosh HD > Library leaving only the system fonts in place

After about 50 bounces Freehand seems to run but without any menu bars or
signs of life. The Activity Monitor tells me it's running, but it's highlighted
in red "(not responding)"

Done Hotfix, Repair permisstions etc.

Any clues?

Not Sure that Freehand has been upgraded to run Intel.

Freehand was running OK until the recent OS 10.4.9 >10.4.10 upgrade. I'm guessing for now that may be part of the problem.

just upgraded my intel-MacBook to 10.4.10 ...
no troubles with launching FH (11 ... Build 92)
