Safari displaying AAAAAAAAAAAAAA on websites

I've just recently installed Snow Leopard from Tiger. All went smoothly until I opened Safari and navigated away from Apple website. Website (Google, BBC) texts display as just a succession of boxed A characters. I think it is Font issues. Some fonts were double loaded in the font book, and these were also showing as boxed A, so I've deleted them from the font book and re-booted, but nothing.

All is good in Firefox.

Help?!

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

OK, Chris . . .

Quit Safari.
Open up your Font Book application in your Applications folder.
Select "All fonts" and then look for the duplicate fonts.
Click "Yes" to resolve duplicates. If you see a warning about corrupted fonts,
also click "Yes."

Restart your Mac (this is an important step).
Then retry Safari.

If no better, Quit Safari. Then you can take your entire USERS > Library > Font folder to the
desktop. Restart Safari.
