for future reference, and if this actually gets archived, i have compiled how i resolved the issue, noting some points and links to references.
I removed all fonts from home/user/library/fonts and HD/library/fonts.
Displaying web pages became a problem after that so i reinstalled typical 'web fonts' into home/user/library/fonts.
System fonts are stored in /System/Library/Fonts and didn't need touched.
I then went through all my purchased fonts and reinstalled them into home/user/library/fonts.
everything is working fine again.
my only concren is that i have deleted (but saved in another folder) any fonts that come with photoshop etc.
here is the references i used:

http://discussions.apple.com/thr…other points to note:
OSX supports Windows TrueType fonts.
hope that helps someone in the future.
Can someone who is still using Fontbook tell me what fonts they have listed under Web collection?
I only have Arial, Arial Black, Georgia, Verdana, Webdings.
I know Times, Courier and helvetica are missing.
Cheers folks.
