Q: Safari in Lion not displaying site's header copy...
Like in http://www.tuaw.com/
same w/ this site:http://macperformanceguide.com/index.html All header fonts shown w/ black and cap "A" symbol.
It's shows as rows of "blocks" w/ a cap "A" inside, looks like letter blocks lined up.
Firefox shows it fine, and the othe rmacs in the house are showing that page fine in Lion's Safari....?
Insight appreaciated!
Thanks, T

Okay, I will, Robert.
So to sum up: Clean up your font caches w/ the Lion version of Onyx and/or either use FontExplorer, if you have it (it can clean font chaches as well), and eradicate font duplicates (which are known to cause problems in OS X and apps going back, not just Lion) that either Lion installed or has occured over time from other apps that include fonts. W/ FEP, go to the left hand column and highlight the yellow triangle labled "Conflicts". Scan your system (commands at the bottom) and it will show the duplicates and their location. It's easy from there to take care of them w/ instructions listed by FEP.
As it did for me, and some others here, this should make safari display pages correctly once again.
