I was able to restore it by going into Applications>FontBook>Edit>Validate Fonts. I then deleted duplicate or (errored) fonts. I also deleted my Font Cache by using the directions in this site: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10389716-263.html?tag=mncol;title Neither of these seemed to make a difference UNTIL i restarted my computer. So im not sure which one actually fixed the problem, but definitely restart your computer after validating and checking fonts!
