I think that I would be suspicous of the applications driving it.  It
sounds to me, like someone is either not useing save/restore contexts
correctly (no memory management, you gotta do it ), or perhaps someone
is not terminating jobs correctly.  You also might try telling the applications
to download any fonts they need when they need them, rather than persistantly
downloading them.  Windows will do that, and I presume that the MAC will
also.  This may or may not entail modifing the fonts as well.
Cheers
