I am using Silk to change the System Font to another font. Problem is, it seems to be changing text used in Safari (i.e. here on the message board - what I am typing is showing up in the new font). I want Safari to use the font for its menus, etc. but not for text in web pages. Anyone who uses Silk know what setting to change to fix this? Again, I want this font to be used as a System Font replacement (i.e. replace Lucinda Grand) but nothing else.

Use a "Custom Theme Font" instead of "Font Substitution" for Safari, it shouldn't touch the web content then. I have Global as a "Custom Theme Font" and the Dock and Finder using "Font Substitution". It works great that way.

You may want to take a look at Tinkertool (http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html)

I may give it another try. In the past I've had terrible luck with TinkerTool changing things I don't want changed and didn't tell it to change.
