My terminal stopped loading

So you're using 10.4 terminal on 10.5 ?

I'll zip up terminal of 10.5 to you as well. I just did a lsof | grep Terminal and got a list of files that it opens. I'll post more on this tomorrow.

what it comes down to is a lot of files it uses in the /System/Library/Frameworks/ and /System/Library/CoreServices/

So is it possible you deleted these files? Going back to read this thread over to see how you possibly got in such a position.

I would suspect that LucidaGrande.dfont and/or Monaco.dfont
got deleted when she trimmed her system files.

yup. Those would be easy to pop into place and test if you get it to launch.

Please zip and send me that file... all of my software updates went well so far, it's odd and the last time I used terminal was the summer of 2007.

I did not go into the system folder itself, I just deleted apps to make free space and useless languages.

I am not familiar with terminal commands so avoided using Terminal.
