Ever since upgrading to Panther my safari has had major font issues. It says the 2 fonts it uses are Lucida Grande and Courier yet it seems to use this crazy spiky font which i think is spykker for all the main text and its very hard to read. i flipped throuh my fonts in font book and it wasnt quite that and then i noticed that arial for some reason looked like that. i turned arial off and all the text became giberish zeros and what not, i thru arial in the trash and then put it back and suddenly all was working fine. Then the next day it i booted up, launched safari and it was back to the spiky font. any ideas?

Your best bet would have probably been to format and install 10.3 or do an archive and install. The upgrade option seems to cause too many problems.

I did simple upgrades on both of my computers. Everything seems to be fine after using them the last 3 days.

Don't have any haxies, keep a fairly clean system. Made sure to repair permissions, run fsck, clear logs and caches and restart a time or two before installing.

Also repair permissions after install. Fsck requires a different instruction now that I didn't quite understand since journaling is activated by default with the install.

Is it now?
fsck -y -f
