Hi Dylan,
have you tried if this works by logging in in text mode only? don't
tell me I have to get the machines to login to the finder to get the
fonts to work!! I found that render times are shorter when the macs
are not filling up any memory for the gui and I would like to keep it
that way. If you haven't tried don't worry as I will test it tomorrow
and let everybody know.
thanks for all the comments.

P.S. I will try and contact shake support about this :)

Hi Luigi
I don't know if this helps, but we have to have our render nodes
logged in
to use any local custom system fonts as well. If we don't we get a
font
error in shake and the frame fails to complete. We didn't find any
way
around this.
Interesting.. I wonder what shake needs the machine to be logged
in for
just to access fonts.
I don't suppose anyone's talked to shake support about this.. I think
we could all benefit from what they say.
I would think you can replicate this problem easily from the
command line
by just ssh'ing into the machine, and invoking the shake command
manually,
and if so, definitely report it to shake support to see what they
say.
(I think some guy was taking over shake support.. can't recall the
details)
