After an uneventful upgrade to lion, I have found that on many web pages, fonts aren't rendering - I get a placeholder for a character, but it's obviously unreadable.
Changing the fonts in the preferences doesn't help; and other browsers do not have this issue. Just safari, and only after upgrading to Lion.
Any ideas?
MacBook Pro 17, Mac OS X (10.7)
Apparently Lion's version of Safari doesn't approve of the use of the fonts in my boot camp partition, and Consolas was the offending font.
Curiously, when consolas is enabled in Lion, Safari doesn't render _any_ monospaced fonts, even if the monospaced font selected in Preferences is Menlo or Monaco.
I've seen similar issues visiting microsoft sites - here, disabling all of the microsoft fonts on my boot camp partition was necessary.
I really like consolas; I would have already done it if I knew it wouldn't break on Lion - maybe the commercial version works where the one Microsoft distributes doesn't; but as it's a gamble at this point, I guess I'll have to use something else...

Apparently the problem is because Safari's 'sandbox' doesn't allow fonts from arbitrary paths; they need to be in a system allowed path (like /Library/Fonts, /System/Library/Fonts, etc.)
Fonts not rendering in safari?
