All text in italics!

Hello,

Something weird happened to Safari. Yesterday I was cleaning the keyboard with a vacuum cleaner and probably some random keyboard combination triggered a weird behavior in Safari. Most of the text that in a normal situation would be plain now it is showed in italics. For example if I google something all the text in the resulting page is italic, the same goes for most of the website that I visit on regular basis.

I don't want to reset Safari unless there is no other option.

Any idea?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

I figured it out by myself.

Somehow, really do not know how!, *FontExplorer X pro* deactivated a couple of SYSTEM FONTS such as Arial, Verdana, and others. This caused not only Safari but many other applications to behave in a weird way in terms of the fonts. Just activated back the fonts and problem solve.

Now, as I said before, +how in da' **** those fonts got de-activated?!+
