Text is warping when scrolling

Hey everyone,

First off, I am a new poster to the forums, but I frequently visit them as I find them a great source of information about Macs. I just bought my MBP about 3 months ago.

The problem I am having is that when I scrolling up or down on webpages in Safari, the text seems to "warp" or run together. Can anyone tell me what the cause of this might be? I have attached a screenshot below. Also, I have run Software Update and I have no new updates to be installed.

Thanks!

do you have office installed on it?

Yes I do

It appears to be a font problem. Somehow you have a font or fonts that are corrupted which are causing the overlapping of words. I'm not sure it's because you have Office installed although noting that MS Office installs a whole load of fonts.... When did the overlapping of words start?

Regards.

It started when I installed office now that I think about it. I just deleted office though and the problem has stopped. Thanks!

yeah its becuz when u install office...office and safari have the same names for fonts and safari doesnt know which to use so it gets messed up...so if u re-install just dont check the box that says install fonts

try downloading

onyx or fontnuke
i beleive those will delete corruptinos..

or just uninstall office, then reinstall and choose not to install fonts

hmmm...i experience the same issues when using multi-touch and safari, however have seen the issues prior to and after my install of office....I made a post in a new thread( http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117315)....do you see blockiness, that i documented in the video, as well?
