Took an exsisting free font made by MS and lined the numbers up so they are all even, renamed the font and resaved it as a truetype Mac Suitcase in Fontlab 4.6, but these bracket characters show up when I scroll across the screen once I'm in Quarkxpress 6.5 on Mac OSX Panther. I haven't seen this happen in any other application.
Is this a known issue with Fontlab and Quark?
How do I fix it?
Ooops, I forgot to say when it print's a message comes up saying (The font used in this layout may be corrupt and may be substituted by courier. [108]). And that 108 alert says
(The path name "___" specified in the Windows Registry is invalid. Using default path name "___".)
Does anyone have a clue?
That's a little confusing. It sounds like you're working on OS X with Mac TrueType fonts, but that's a Windows error message! Of course Windows can't recognize or work with suitcase-based Mac TrueType fonts.
In any case, you are breaking your license agreement with Microsoft by altering the font. Microsoft's license explicitly forbids modifying their fonts.

Well I guess that ends that then.
