I have a managed user who, when using Quark, cannot access a particular
font.  When I log in as a local user all is fine and it works with Word
under her account.  The font is in the library/font folder on the HD and
also in her library/font folder in her home. [...]

 standard user, internet access for that user is suddenly disabled.  I have tested by creating a new user named 'student' and browsing the net with Safari and Firefox on an iMac running 10.5.3.  When I enable Parental Controls (leaving all the default settings as they are), log off the student, then log back on as the student... browsing in both Safari and Firefox is disabled with the exception of local websites which do not use the proxy server.  I'm wondering if this may be something to do with ports being blocked when Parental Controls are turned on as we use port 8080
 for our proxy server rather than 3128.  Anyone have any thoughts on this?  Cheers, PJR --

What does ls -ale show in the Template directory?  
 What does repair permissions say it is changing?

After you ditto or cp your customized home folder to /System/Library/User
Template/English.lproj (after mv'ing the original out of the way), do you
then do a 'sudo chown root:wheel' on the directory to make sure the
template's ownership is what OS X expect it to be? [...]

Hello, 
   I'm having a challenge attempting to customize the home directory 
for all our local and network users. 

In the past  - customizing /System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/ 
has been straight forward and worked as expected. 
However, not the case with 10.5.4. 

 I login in as root. [...]
