Donny

Which fonts did you install? Did you replace some system fonts by any chance (bad idea)?

Have you tried:
- restarting (gotta ask)
- cleaned font caches (easy with something like MainMenu), then retarted
- repairing permissions (I'm not joking), then restarted (do you see a pattern here? ;))
- resolving duplicates after uninstalling the new fonts and verified that your old ones, specially "key" ones for websurfing, like Arial and Helvetica (or even Times)
- set the default font in Firefox to one that actually works (important after e.g. trying Minefield)
