I can't figure out some font issues I'm seeing. They happened in Snow Leopard too, and I tried an upgrade to Lion to see if that'd fix the problem but it hasn't. Basically, Helvetica is completely messed up. If you see the attached screenshot, this is the Calendars button on the top left of the iCal window on two computers. The left is the messed up one, the right looks fine. These were taken at the same resolution and the same font size. I've tried validating fonts, clearing out duplicates, and so on, with no success. The only app installed I can think of that messes with fonts is Office 2011, but I can only blame it for so much. Anyone have any ideas? I'd love to avoid a full-blown reinstall.

x-virge posted:On Lion, my Helvetica is: /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.dfont with unique name: Helvetica; 7.0d20e1; 2011-04-05 Yup, that matches up nicely with what I have, and it still looks messed. Thanks for checking.

TACD posted:Do you have anything in ~/Library/Fonts? If so try deleting them or just rename the Fonts folder and logout/login, that'd be my first thing to try. Deleted a couple fonts that I didn't recognize and restarted. Still busted. Then for shits I replaced /Library/Fonts with the contents of same from a Lion install that isn't suffering from this issue. Still no go.

Assuming you mean Mission Control (I confuse them all the time too)... e: could've sworn that option enabled that, but it definitely doesn't. I'm sorry!

TACD posted:That sucks. You do have font smoothing turned on, right? Otherwise, I don't know Yeah I toggled it a couple times and didn't see a change. It was on when I started.

Daveh posted:This should do the trick: For what it's worth, you can hit space after hitting cmd-shift-4 to toggle between "drag a rectangle" mode and "select a window" mode for screenshots.

Xandu posted:I hate to say it, but it sounds like the only way to fix that is to backup your files and do a clean install. I ended up doing this. I tried Migration Assistant just for fun, selectively limiting what got migrated, but couldn't make the issue go away. So it definitely seems tied to the user account (if I wasn't happy just to be done, I'd make a new account and try it). Anyway it's fixed so gently caress it. Thanks for the help.
