ok.. I looked for this but didn't see mention of it...

here's a screen shot from earlier...

http://www.angryf.com/ARTNIGHT/gibberish.gif

then I restarted Safari and it worked and looked right.. it's almost like the encryption software went bad or something (internal apple stuff).

any fixes or similar experiences?

I did look in the forum but didn't find anything

thanks

im guessing you use suitcase- i get this too. it seems to be when it tries to activate a font that you also have as a system font- ie helvetica, or lucia grande. its a pain- and the only way to fix it is t re-start the app (the one with the gibberish text, not suitcase). I'm toying with the idea of replacing all the system font with postscript versins- but im too scared right now, but i think it will fix it.

Or- disable Suitcase's ability to Manage System Fonts. Fixed this issue on mail.app for one of my machines.
