what's wrong here?
i suppose it's to to with the general chaos in my font library. i'm in the process of sorting that with suitcase. (thread about font utilities here)
what are the fonts i should have installed to facilitate browsing and prevent some pages from looking like this?

what browser? it looks like safari, but so does my Firefox face.
firefox 3.03
it occurs to me that some weird font perhaps has stolen the id for some font i've trashed, or???
Firefox/Preferences/Content.
mine's plain ol' Times.
once i had an appearance weirdness with my browser. somehow the default font was set to something not on my computer.
does your Suitcase app give you a way to make sure all your System fonts are in the System Library and others are in your user library? (never used Suitcase, here.)
ok... I looked this up and for best results on the web out there you need the following fonts activated/installed on your mac:
- Andale Mono
- Arial
- Arial Black
- Brush Script
- Comic Sans MS (yeah, people actually use that one)
- Georgia
- Impact
- Times New Roman
- Verdana
- Webdings
... hope that helps. uh, and repair permissions, for some unknown resons on Mac OS X repairing permissions almost always fixed almost every odd issue that cropped up here. :happy:
rbernato, thanks as well, i've been repairing permission obsessively lately to little avail, but that's another story. now i'm going to download applejack and give it a whirl on the laptop.
Applejack is the bomb. the routine that OS X does only repairs permissions on Apple's apps installed by the OS. that leaves a lot out.
