@jkwuc89: regarding your last post, are you saying that this has resolved the issue for that font? Please always post your evaluation. When you let us draw our own conclusion we may come to a different one than you'd expect.
Of course, we'd love to find a solution where you don't have to do that, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to do that short of rewriting SlickEdit as a native app. Certainly, this helps us to pin down what the problem is and see what we can do within the current framework.
Doing research on this issue, it seems like a lot of people are having trouble with other applications due to the switch to Snow Leopard, and not just X11 apps either. I find that very surprising since the Mac has a reputation for not having to fiddle with such things.
