Kill the font cache to resolve font problems. Lo and behold, I've got all my Classic fonts back in Mac OS X! I love Espy Sans and Palatino from my OS9 System Folder, but for quite a while now, sometimes they show in OSX, sometimes not. This hint has resurrected them all the way:
If your font cache gets corrupted, (e.g. when Suitcase previews Fonts incorrectly, or Flash is unable to show antialiased fonts), open the Terminal and type:
% cd /System/Library/Caches/
% sudo rm -f *
2002-07-11 update: Sometimes a Classic desktop rebuild is necessary, too:
System Preferences -> Classic -> Advanced -> Rebuild Desktop
2002-07-17 update: Today getting Classic fonts to show up in OSX (apparently) required an extra step, update_prebinding:
% sudo update_prebinding -root /
