    We are a school with an OS X Server 10.5.8 with managed users. The students are now to the point where they want to use some of their own fonts but I have discovered that the Font folder in their user folder on the network is simply a shortcut to the Font folder in /Libarary folder on the client machine. I cannot figure out how or why the server is doing this. If I log into the server as Root and look in one of the user home folders there is not a Font folder in their Library folder. If I create the folder there as root and they then log in it gets deleted and is replaced by the aliias to the client machine font folder. Same thing happens if the user deletes the alias and creates a Font folder and then logs out and back in again. I am stumped and this is causing problems since their fonts now do not follow them from machine to machine.

    Help.
