I'm not sure what is going on but with my itunes and firefox etc. this random font is showing up. i've already validated all the fonts in my fontbook, i don't know what else to do now.

Clear your font cache. You can find many tools that can do this; however, I personally use this freebie:

FontNuke 1.0.5 - MacUpdate

i've cleared the cache with onyx. :S

hmm, i wonder if reinstalling itunes will help

Try another user account...same issue?

I'm having this same issue... just started recently on my imac. The issue is only cropping up on one of the user accounts, the others are all fine.

You probably need to trash some font. If you provide a screenshot, it would be easier to help.

Ok, Here's is the solution:

1. Open Terminal.
2. Type the following two commands:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR`
open ..
3. In the Finder window that appears, drag the folders -Caches-, -Tmp- and TemporaryItems to the Trash, if they exist.
4. Restart. You may get a message that the boot cache is being rebuilt.

Once you have restarted, your font problem may be gone.

Tiger and Leopard font caches can be cleared by doing a "Safe" boot (hold shift key on restart).
