WFM in 1.6.1; what are your font settings?

Western
Proportional Font (Serif): Verdana (also tried as Times)
Proportional Font (Sans-serif): Helvetica
Monospace: Panic Sans

(Is that the information you need, or am I looking in the wrong place?)

A grab of what I see is here, in case it's useful: http:/homepage.mac.com/adamwilde/camino_apostrophe.png

The site's using Hoefler Text in all of its css, so unless you've checked "Always use my fonts", your font settings won't matter (and it certainly looks like Hoefler Text in your screenshot).  Check Font Book and make sure you don't have multiple copies of Hoefler Text and that the font isn't corrupt.

You can also try running with a fresh profile using http://pimpmycamino.com/parts/troubleshoot-camino and see if the page displays correctly.

There was a duplicate of Hoefler installed. Disabling it fixed the problem. Thanks and apologies!
