Which versions and releases run under Tiger? So far, V 3.0.5 has crashed
at launch for me.

The latest Steamband works fine, except for an odd font-size glitch at
startup. Re-selecting the font size from the menu clears up the problem.

ToME 2.3.1 (I think that's the latest) has the same problem. Ditto
Vanilla 3.0.5, and NPP 0.4.0.

This message is ambiguous. When you say "has the same problem", do you
mean the font glitch or crashing?

I saw (with Hugo) incompatible NPP binaries between OS X 10.3.6 and
10.3.8, and solved it (off newsgroup) by recompiling on the local
system. Neither compile worked on the other's machine.

I am running my own builds of both V and NPP, compiled on 10.3.8,
currently running 10.3.9. The posted builds were made with earlier
point releases.

I recommend recompiling; a similar problem happened for NPP between 2
different versions of 10.3.x. I have no idea why that is... By the
way, compiling is really easy.

$ make -f Makefile.osx

and you are ready to go.

Also, destroy your Angband preferences; when failures occur on OS X
they very often corrupt the preferences file.

Sorry - I meant the font glitch. All of the variants I mentioned run
fine for me, no crashes.

Like you pointed out earlier, the crashes might be related to corrupted
prefs. I hadn't played V for quite a while, so had no prefs at all.
