One of the causes of Adobe InDesign CS3 or InCopy CS3 crashing under Mac OS X with a message saying ‘The application has unexpectedly quit’ may be a corrupted font cache. Adobe programs rely on a cache file named Adobefnt10.lst to speed up the loading of fonts; if this file gets corrupted, it can cause InDesign and InCopy to bomb out during launch. To fix this, search for the cache file by name using the Find command or Spotlight, then delete it. Now launch InDesign or InCopy, and a new font cache file will be generated, hopefully clearing the problem.
