I've had that same problem. It's a font you have to turn off. I can't remember the name of it, but after a week of dealing with that crap, I finally had the bright idea to copy that fucked up text and paste into TextEdit, then highlighted the text there and got the name of the font, then turned it off. Haven't had any problems since. Still don't know why that crap suddenly happened though.

trash prefs will also work. i hate that it always chooses helvetica fractions when they get corrupted. why is that anyway?

Yeah I always wondered too, why the mac chooses a weird font to display corrupted fonts.
But then again, maybe you should buy the font (should be the only reason why a font corrupts, because it was downloaded)
