    Hey guys, so i just installed the microsoft office 2008 (my dad actually had it at his office) after installing it i opened up safari and noticed that letters were grouped together and were messed up like in the screen shot.

    Any insight on why this is happening?

    thanks

    ps: lets also forget that i was listening to kelly clarckson :p

    It may have installed or removed some fonts?

    Have you tried restarting your computer?


    edit: no strikeout?

    I agree with namaiki - have you tried restarting the system?

    This happened to my brother's MB. All he did was restart it and just keep using it and it eventually went away after a couple days. We thought it was a font issue.

    Hey guys, sorry i was in class, i did however uninstall the open office because i installed microsoft 2008 without doing so, maybe the fonts conflicted? Anyways, i did restart my computer and it seems to have worked.

    Thanks Namaiki, Colton & Booji :)

    Love the atmosphere around this forum so helpfull and nice :D

    Apparently the cause of this (I've had this too when I installed Office 2008) is having safari running while Office was installing. Quiting Safari completely before initiating the Office install resolves the problem too.
