A few ideas you might want to check :

- apart from Silk and Tinkertool settings, Safari has it's own font preference. Try changing it, perhaps there's a conflict.
- Silk has an Exclude list : try putting Safari in it.
- does Tinkertool do anything to Safari or any individual app, at all ?
- does your problem arises on some specific sites ? I've seen that happen (p.e. popup list to choose country), and visit these with Camino. So perhaps it's a Safari issue.

This sounds like the same problem in this thread. Do you know what type of font is being used for select boxes (Application, Messages, Labels, Help tags, etc.)?

Never would have thought it to be a font problem...
