Dosen't Leopard accept FFIL??

Hello everyone.
Please give me an advice if you know anything about Leopard and FFIL!

I just got new iMac at my office and installed OS 10.5.1.
Till yesterday, I was using FFIL formatted font suitcase on my lovely old PPC iMac, with OS 10.4.11.
But it seems that my new Leopard OS dosen’t recognize FFIL file as a font but a “Unix execute file”. Even Font Book and Linotype FontExplorer can’t open the ex-FFIL files, which are about 50% of the fonts I have!

I think this might be an problem of my computer, but since I’m the only one who works on Leopard in my office, so I decide to ask people here for an advice.
Does anyone know what’s going on with my new working equipment?
Please please help me!

Works for me (in 10.5.2).
Is it connected to Font Book when
