May 11, 2012 9:08 PM in response to Dazinioby JonnyOneNote,QXP7.5 will work on Snow Leopard, although you might find some hiccups along the way. My best advice is to "save often." (QXP9.2.x is worth the $300 upgrade).
Upon opening a document for the first time, your fonts will most likely reflow and special fonts (pi fonts, fonts made in Font Studio, etc.) may not show the correct characters at all.
Snow Leopard has had font issues since its very first release; I waited until 10.6.8 to finally make the upgrade and even then it proved to be problematic with fonts. Some fonts switched styles (italic to bold) or even weights (i.e., Minion SemiBold became Minion Display Italic). Make sure all of your fonts are either .otf (Open Type PostScript) or .ttf (TrueType), preferably Unicode-compliant. In short, Snow Leopard doesn't like PostScript Type 1 fonts at all.
Adobe Creative Suite CS3 works fine with Snow Leopard; again, the same font advice for Quark applies for Adobe also.

I have to disagree with you there. I have a couple thousand T1 PS fonts, and they all work just fine in Snow Leopard (after Apple fixed the most glaring bugs in the rewritten type engine). Though as you said, pi fonts, and some others that have non standard ordinal names will often fail to display the intended glyphs in a standing document.
I do agree though that Apple, and the rest of the industry is trying to push everyone to use Unicode, OpenType fonts only.
