Products Affected

Mac OS X 10.3

After updating to Mac OS X 10.3.6, 10.3.7, or 10.3.8, if you have many PostScript Type 1 fonts installed, you may notice that it takes longer to log in than before updating. To fix this, download and install Mac OS X 10.3.9.

How much longer log in takes generally depends on the number of PostScript Type 1 fonts installed. With 1000 or more PostScript fonts, for example, you'd probably notice it. The login time may increase slightly with every login, even if you don't install additional PostScript Type 1 fonts.

Solution

Download and install the Mac OS X 10.3.9 update.
