what font does iphoto use when displaying names of events?

Hello. I seem to be having some font issues, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what font iPhoto 8 uses to display the names of events. Can anyone help me? If I can figure out what font it's supposed to be using, I hope to be able to activate it appropriately.

Thanks,
Dean

The font doesn't display correctly. I can see the text, but when I click on the text, I can't edit it because the font and the cursor aren't aligning correctly. I recently paired down my fonts in my User Domain folder and my Library fonts folders, but I left all of the fonts in the System folder, which includes Helvetica and Helvetica Neue. So now I'm left wondering why Helvetica isn't working properly across the board. Are there iPhoto preferences I could delete to reset the program?

Thanks, Terence. I'll give that a try.

I seem to be having this font problem is various other random situations, too. Is there a way to "reset" the Helveticas for the whole system? I'm wondering if moving fonts has messed with them in some way, or at least how my system is reading them. I use Extensis Suitcase to font manage, and the Helveticas are in permanate activation mode, so they should be working correctly. But obviously, there is some glitch somewhere. Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dean
