Fonts have changed

[Nermal]

I got home from work today and loaded up Safari, to find my fonts are different from usual. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean (compare with a standard install of Safari). Other user accounts are unaffected, and I haven't changed any settings (it was normal when I left for work this morning, and different when I got home). I'm absolutely baffled

Does it look better if you press COMMAND-SHIFT-MINUS to zoom out?

I can duplicate that look if I deactivate Verdana. Check your font mangler if you're using one, dump the font cache if need be, or sometimes, even a log out-log in will unstick.

Nope.

No font "mangler" )), and I've tried rebooting. Verdana is not showing up in Font Book, in fact it looks suspiciously empty (it only contains 21 fonts). How do I dump the font cache?

Trash all the files under Library:Caches:com.apple.ATS and reboot.

[edit: Above assumes Tiger, use Onyx or something like that on other versions because the caches are hiding in several spots. ]
