Ok it seems to happen on a few website, most specifically Versontracker. This what I see when I goto there:

Is it that there is a problem with Safari or do I have somekind of problem font? As I installed a few fonts onto the machine without thinking a head about using Suitcase or Fontbook (my bad I am sorta new to Tiger...but not Macs...).

Any help would be appreciated, I just don't wanna have to install Tiger again as I just managed to get my files off my PC before it died.

Garbled Text?
Font Finagler

If you're having problems on your system with text appearing "garbled", it could be caused by corrupt font cache files. What appears to be happening is that incorrect or corrupted encoding vector information is being used when mapping the character codes as input by your keyboard to the glyphs they represent in the problematic font. You can run Font Finagler to purge these cache files in an attempt to restore normal behavior. If you use Font Finagler but the problem remains, then it could be caused by an underlying OS X font-handling bug, by a font conflict, or by a corrupt or less-than-ideal-quality font. Try removing fonts to isolate the problematic fonts that are causing this behavior.

Important: Close all other applications before cleaning caches...

Conflict with Suitcase also could be source of problem ...

Only in Safari? Only with some sites?

In that screenshot it appears that VersionTracker's style sheet didn't load, that could be the culprit. The page isn't formatted at all and maybe the underlying code is such that Safari can't draw it right without that style sheet.

But at the same time, some of those fonts (the serif one in there) does look rather borked.

Did you try removing the fonts you installed?
