Version numbers would be useful.... are you using a Font Manager, or have multiple variants of the same font families (TT, OT, PS?) My initial thought is corrupt font.
 
Yeah, a corrupt font would be likely. Hmm........ The version of Safari would be useful. Did this happened again after restarting, closing safari, etc.?
Does this happen to all websites?
 
the version is 3.1.1 (5525.20)

and nope havent got any font manager or stuff.. its happened to almost all sites.. i tried resetting safari, clearing the cache etc.. no use.. :confused:
 
My Safari is having some shattering like (almost a horizontal line) that is only seen when slowly scrolling :confused: I think the new Safari update is the reason for all of these issues.
 
It could be a corrupted font cache, this page has some info, your garbling doesn't seem as extreme, but it might be worth a try.
Also, do you have a minimum font size set in advanced prefs, I know that can cause issues on some webpages.
 
hey all.. thanks for the quick replies!
i restarted my system and the problem is gone now.. but the gonna check out that font corruption issue.. mite occur again ..
 
what is that horizontal line at the top of every page?

This has been going on for many weeks and it does not show up on Firefox. It's even in this window (see attachment). It almost feels like I'm being watched, or there's some kind of tracking from site to site (virus) or a rogue cookie problem.

Any advice? It's driving me crazy:mad:
