Just wondering if there is a way to just reinstall the system fonts from the OSX install disk ... is there a seperate installer on the disk I could use?

Nevermind ... I managed to fix the problem. Also wondering if it's O.K. to lock fonts in the Fonts folder to prevent accidental deletion.

/System/Library/Fonts is locked for everybody. /Library/Fonts is locked if you don't use an admin account for day to day use, which can be a good idea.
