Arial Font Changed to a different font

Hi, i have a huge problem with the arial font in my macbook pro. It shows something like this in font book about the Arial font:

if you see the background behind font book, you can see that even the font in goole chrome changed. I've tried to reset my macbook pro but nothing is happening.

It also appears as linkin.ttf when i tell it to "show in folder" Thanks for helping. I really don't know what to do right now.

And whenever I check google something this happens:

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

Hello jdessie

To fix the issue, I would remove the font from Font Book and make sure completely remove it from your Mac. Once that is done, then I would reinstall OS X Mavericks. As part of the installation of OS X, Arial will be reinstalled and it will be the correct font that you need.
