Since upgrading last night i now have this weird font substitution going on showing up on web sites.

I attach a screen shot of the Yahoo page showing the font.

 

Anyone know why or how to fix it ? I went into Safari preferences and both arial ms16 and courier 13 show as default fonts.

 

Driving me mad !

 

Thanks in advance.

After much searching I found the problem and solution. Font duplication / font validation.

Arial was being replaced with 'Brady Bunch' because Arial.ttf was somehow installed twice after Snow Leopard was installed. So went into font book, right clicked the Arial font, validated it then removed duplicates and bradybunch.ttf and it was resolved. Still looks different to pre-SL but at least i don't have Brady Bunch replacing Arial.

 

Thanks me :)
