I downloaded a font last night called Gilligan (looks like the gilligan island font), from a site called famous fonts (actually a cool font site), and now my Arial looks like gilligan. I have trashed gilligan completely, and copied over the arial file from my Powerbook, no dice, still looks like gilligan!! Any ideas? Weird...well, weird AND annoying.

Strange. Are the original fonts PostScript? Maybe it had the same filenames for the character maps and overwrote the ones for Arial? Hm....

Arial is Microsoft's crappy knockoff of Helvetica, anyway.
