Safari for Windows font display problem How to fix

If you installed Safari and discovered that fonts on the menu bar, menus and some web pages display as random characters and numbers, making the browser unusable, there's good news: there's a pretty easy fix. The problem is apparently caused by a conflict between the Lucida Grande font that come with Safari's installation program and the same font on your Windows system. Here's what to do about it: 1. Navigate in Windows Explorer to the Safari installation folder, which is typically \Program Files\Safari. 2. Double click the folder named Safari.resources. 3. Find the two font files named Lucida Grande Bold.ttf and Lucida Grande.ttf. 4. Rename the files with a different file extension (or you can just delete them). This may fix the problem, but if it doesn't, there's another, more complicated fix you can try: editing the fonts.plist file. You'll find instructions here:

And if you have a problem with no fonts showing up at all, the problem may be that you don't have the Lucida Grande fonts. You can download them from the link on this page:
