Okay the final outcome!!!
The number count on Jan-8-2009 was
1.0750685e+6 (way over a million)
and after 16 DAYS it crashed, bummer.
This second run started back on Dec-25-08 (see other posted messages), and really u can't use the computer while the font caches is doing it update thing, very sluggish. And u can NOT Nuke the Fonts unless you hit the updates button. If you happen to crash, then you're back to zero.
I tried both the Admin-free and normal Font Nuke updates list.
This time I did not want to take the chance of it crashing again, so I left the computer alone.
I have screen save on, but the hard drive set on never sleep.
I would check status once in awhile to see if it was still going.
I used this iMac for graphic design, since 2003, I ran OS9 classic and switched over to Tiger in 2005 when I had new software, may be that is why it won't work?
I will do a re-install Tiger today. Whether it that gets rid of font caches I don't now?
With all the great reviews on Font Nukes I was really hoping it get the job done.
And I'm also disappointed not hear from my postings and alert message to this site manager.
FYI: I do not recommend this program with my kind of situation, I have wasted almost a month on this.

I've been running just Font Nuke for 12 days with the applied Admin-Free update and I'm not kidding– it is still finding font caches.
The count so far is 814541 and still ticking.
How long will it run?
I wish I knew more about this program. Hoping it works this time around.
I have posted a few times before on this subject.
I wish I could stop the updating part and Nuke the font caches it already has found.
This program crashed on me on Christmas eve and there were over a million files found.
So, I had to start all over again.
If this is normal I would love hear from you. or any other suggestions.
Thanks

I posted before on 12-25-08 on this subject
Since then I've been running Admin-Free update for the pass WEEK on my other computer.
I have a counted so far. 457,000 font file caches. Can't see all the files in the window, but the ones I can see go back to when I purchased the imac in 2003. So there's a lot caches.
My question is Is this normal time for this program to run?
Can you Nuke the fonts caches without updating?
Is there alternatives?
The last time I ran Nuke Font–there was way over 1,000,000 files and then it crashed, which the does a 1.0000000 and some letters after that, may be it to much DATA?
If anybody has info on this program or had same problem PLEASE
I really would appreciate a response.
THANKS

I had a Safari problem on my iMac 2003 running Tiger 1.4.11 Safari kept crashing, so I found some advise to run font book then run Font Nuke. Running this program basically rendered my computer useless, because I tried to back a file I needed on CD while the program was running for about 3 days, and it crashed.
So, I ran the program again and did not touch it for one week. It was updating the list and last count was over 1,000,000 caches. I had screen saver running, but nothing else.
I went this morning and there was message application has closed, to you want to reopen.
So now back where I started, Is there something I'm doing wrong?
It had lost all that updating data. PLEASE ADVISE-THANKS
By the the way All my other applications were running fine including FireFox, just Sarafi was giving me problems.

This program resolves so many problems, especially with deeply embedded multitudes of Adobe font caches. To take a job that, at best, is ridiculously tedious, and automate it, and make it all so easy! Thank you!
Doesn't seem to locate system font caches - Version: 1.1.3, 12/11/2007 03:25PM PST

On 10.5, ran this a couple times, but all it found were various Adobe .lst caches. I know the system font caches are hidden away somewhere in /private/var/folders or something 'cause I had to delete them manually a couple weeks ago.
Am I missing something?

My Mac OS 10.4.10 started showing garbled fonts or fonts in bold where it did not before. Tried OnyX but it didn't work. FontNuke cleared up the problem.

I'm on an INTEL Mac, op system 10.4.9 running CS3 suite
Yesterday out of the clear blue ALL of my Adobe CS3 products refused
to see an active non-corrupt postscript font file that I've been
using for weeks without issue.
I tried manually clearing all Adobefnt07.lst and Adobefnt11.lst
files, trashed all my prefs for Suitcase fusion and Adobe apps. I ran
permissions and repaired them. Nothing. Then Illustrator and
Photoshop would technically see the font but call it something
different. The font is called Nat Vignette One and it would call it
ITC American Typewriter-Bold. InDesign wouldn't see it at all. They
all would see Nat Vignette Two however. I even re-downloaded the font
from myfonts.com and reinstalled. no dice. Then a friend told me
about FontNuke. Wow, just wow! Thank you for creating this app. My
next step without it was to trash Suitcase and start over from
scratch, if that didnt' work I was going to uninstall all my Adobe
CS3 apps and reinstall.
Font Nuke found 1743 caches on my computer to clear - all is well
now. So obviously one or more were corrupt.
I can't thank you enough for FontNuke and for making it FREE.

It does what it is supposed to do.
Used on a MacBook and a G5, both running Mac OS X 10.5.8. The G5 was having font problems with Word and InDesign. Font Doctor fixed or moved the damaged fonts, but I needed Font Nuke to clear out the cache files I was missing.
This method worked best for me:
1. Click "Nuke Font Caches" on the top toolbar
2. Click "Update Font Caches List" button on the bottom right corner
3. Click "Nuke Font Caches" button on the bottom right corner
4. Verify that no other applications are running, but
DO NOT click the button to quit other applications;
instead, click the "Continue" button that appears.
