When I get dialog box errors or messages, the display font is messed up. They show up like this:
Does anyone know how I can fix this? All other system fonts are fine, but dialog boxes all do this. I have validated my fonts, ran "FontNuke", cleared the font cache, etc and it still hasn't been fixed.
Any suggestions are welcome outside of reinstalling OS X.

I have the same problem on one of my MB Airs. I copied and pasted that text into TextEdit and found that it SHOULD be Times, but is "converting"? to Helvetica Neue. I'm having this problem with Safari, iTunes, Keynote and the App Store (Apple applications), but Firefox, Word, TextEdit and other non-Apple applications are just fine. I created a new Admin user to see if it was limited to just one user, but the same thing happens with the new user, too.
Looks like my system fonts got hosed some kind of way, but I cannot figure out how or how to fix this. I'm seeing there are a LOT of people also having this problem on the Discussion Boards.
WHAT GIVES, APPLE?
You NAILED it. This solution worked. Thanks, again.
Thank you so much! Worked flawlessly. I was fretting having to do a system back up to reinstall, OS X.
