Hey,

I'm looking for a definitive answer as to whether or not it's at all possible to restore system fonts without doing a backup and reinstall of OS X.

I'm having an issue with, as far as I can tell, Helvetica. I'm not sure which variation, and it's possible that it's Helvetica Neue.

Here are some illustrations of the issue - the first two on web pages with properties of the element in question displayed, the last is the weather dashboard widget, I'm not sure which font exactly that uses (of the Helvetica set).

So, if it isn't possible to do any type of font restoration (which I've been led to believe), what would you recommend given I know the issue is with Helvetica? I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance!
 
It looks like it is indeed Helvetica, rather than Neue. Any suggestions? Please? =)
