I recently installed some new fonts and the first one has now become one of my default fonts.  Eg when writing an email in Gmail, this font is used in all field boxes.  On this page, the new font is only in the field showing the latest bugs reported.  I have set all fonts in my preferences to Arial but it hasn't gotten rid of this new font.  I have also tried removing the font from my font book and restarting Camino, but this made no difference.  Ordinarily I wouldn't care but it's a very complex graffiti font and impossible to read!

Have you tried a fresh profile? Quit Camino, then re-name

~/Library/Application Support/Camino

and re-launch the application.

Also, you should check Font Book and make sure there are no corrupt or duplicate fonts.

Apologies!!  Just moved house and forgot to resolve this one.

I found an error in  the font book.  The font was installed as a sub font of arial which I was using in Camino.  I deleted that and the problem went away.

Thanks heaps for your help.
