painfully slow startup on 10.3.8, likely due to Atsserver

I'm running 10.3.8 on a G5 and the startup process has recently slowed
down substantially. Everything runs fine up to the login screen, but
once I log in it takes a long, long time to load the desktop. I watched
this process from another machine via ssh and it appears that the
atsserver is running for the bulk of the time that I'm watching the
rainbow pizza spin around. I don't have an excessive number of fonts
on my machine, but this is clearly slowing things down. Is it possible
I have a corrupt font somewhere? Is there a way to check this? Any help
here would be much appreciated.

Thanks
