[X4U] Missing font in Safari

[Jim Elmore]

 From the source code for the page . . .

#content p {font-family: 'Times Roman', Times, serif; font-size:  
13px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;}

You could have an odd version of Times installed and the browser is  
defaulting to "serif".

I wouldn't let Fusion manage my Library and System Fonts. I'd go with  
the default system install and not worry about it. I found that if I  
try to do what the System is supposed to do, i just get in trouble at  
some point. I've tried it and don't like it.

Fusion does work great for me, though. Very solid.

You also might try a font cache cleaner. AppleJack might be overkill.  
Maybe DeepSix. There are others.
