I installed about 500 fonts today thats the only thing that changed in my system. Somewhere in the middle things changes system wide. I got this weird font in Safari and Adium. I noticed in Safari>Appearance that Times was looking kinda funny so I looked in Font Book and found what looked like the culprit, Times Phonetic and deleted it. That fixed the basic type on a web page not Adium and not the RSS page. Any thoughts on this and how to fix it.

I figured it out. Apparently there is some known bug with the font "Helvetica Fractions" all you have to do is disable it and you should be fine. the KB Article is here.
