I got my MacBook almost a year ago and didn't have this problem (though it's possible that I did and have simply forgotten... in any case, it worked perfectly for months). A month ago I backed up and reformatted my hard drive, then reinstalled Firefox. Now it can't read or write a final sigma, though it displays everything else fine (polytonic characters and all). I think. Oddy enough, this is EXACTLY the problem I’ve had.

As for iGTD, I used to use it, but stopped for two reasons: (1) I'm an omnigroup fanboy, and (2) I felt like I was getting lost in it. I think it's "robustness" scares me off...I want simple. OmniFocus is really working out so far...but I don't know about the $40 price tag. I’ll keep the font cache issue in check…maybe that’s what was going on.

Each application has its own font cache and some "reset" more often than others. I find if I am having to work in Word (on rare occasions) and need a font I just installed, I need to clease the font caches. A good way to do this is with a great program I use for computer maintenance called Onyx. p.s. I see by the reference to OmniFocus that you're a fellow GTD'r - good stuff! Have you tried out iGTD? I have found that to be the most robust Mac GTD program, and free to boot! This sounds like a font cache issue. Each application has its own font cache and some “reset” more often than others.
