The implication, from the message, is that Batang.ttf -- in your User font folder -- is damaged.

To fix, I'd try to duplicate it with Finder first. If that works, delete the old one (and empty your trash), then rename the copy back to the original name and try it again.

If you can't duplicate it, I'd suggest booting from your Tiger DVD and running Disk Utility from the Installer menu. Repair your Tiger drive (not its permissions, but its structure), then boot back and give it another shot.

If neither works, I'd reinstall this font from its original media.

Hope that helps, Chris. Let me know what happens!
