Fonts garbled in Safari iCloud email.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, any time I load icloud in Safari all text under icons, and emails themselves are garbled and illegible.


I'm assuming some font that iCloud relies on did not get loaded correctly. I've tried reinstalling Lion, and Mountain Lion, but the problem persists.



Any ideas?

iMac Intel, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks Paul. Your Helvetica tipped me off that I switch to a different set of Helveticas yesterday using Suitcase Fusion. I simply turned off all the client Helveticas and everything returned to normal. Didn't need to restart, zap PRAMs or anything else. I have the same problem on my home Mac, which I've ignored. Now I think I finally have the fix.


Thanks again!

Was having the same problem and I just learned to live with it. Some Browsers did it, others didn't. Then I just decided to fix the bloody problem.

I deactivated all my fonts in Font Explorer (except for the System fonts), restarted with Shift down, launched Safari, opened up a Website where I knew the problem existed and it was all ok.

I thought the problem had been fixed a decade ago. Had a similar problem in the '90's as well. It's all to do with the fonts. There's some nasty little buggers in there!
