Text rendering problem

i'm a proud switcher with less than 24hrs working on mac and everything runs just like i expected. However when a visit some of my favourite sites, the text do not display as it should.
Can someone help me?
thanks in advance

Hmm, helvetica seems to be their default font...

You wouldn't have happened to turn off any Fonts in Font Book by any chance?

I've installed some fonts since i'm a web designer and i think i didn't turn off anything. Can you tell me how i can see if they're turned off?

Thanks in advance.

Open font book (hit cmd - space and type font book, it should come up in spotlight, then hit enter). Scroll down to helvetica. Does it look normal there? Also right click (or ctrl-click) on it and see if it's been disabled.

Strange thing. To be able to read the content of the page i must disable helvetica
Doesn't look like a good solution for the problem.

Very odd, helvitica works for me. Was that a font you happened to install? That is, are we sure it's the stock helvetica?

Try this:

Go back to the site with it enabled and select and then copy some of the text.
Then, open Textedit and paste in the selection. Hit 'Command+T' to bring up the fonts panel and select 'all' to see which font is being substituted for Helvetica.

Try disabling that font.
