Okay, so I added a bunch of new fonts to my machine. Now, Safari is displaying all sorts of weird fonts across different webpages. Here's a picture

I noticed by looking at the source that the CSS that determines the sites fonts is referring to all that messed up stuff as font-family: san-serif

I found out the font that was causing the fractions (New Century Schoolbook fractions) and removed it, but the sites still display like that.

Help! Does anyone know what to do about this?

Sans-serif is a whole class of fonts. Helvetica or Chicago would be just two examples.

My guess is you're having text encoding problems. Try changing the encoding. If you can't figure out which one it is, try Firefox's autodetect to get it.

Strange - I just installed Office 2004, and the fonts in Safari are behaving differently. What hath Microsoft wrought? (Don't mean to derail your thread, just thought it might be related somehow).

I also installed Office 2004 recently, but it wasn't until I added new fonts that this started happening
