**Mac help needed urgently!**

But Macs don't get viruses, right?...

Far less than PC's

[pcbranding]

Have you installed any type management software?
Or have you deleted/moved any fonts? Both of these are likely suspects of causing the default typefaces to revert to something else. The mac does still need half a dozen system fonts to keep things running smoothly and these need to remain in the correct folders.

Re. viruses. PCs get them, Macs don't as a rule. Invest in a hard drive and backup regularly. Or simply use Time Machine which is already on your mac if it is vaguely up to date.

it's not a virus... it's just a mac os x fontbook problem.

i had the same. all you have to do is find the font that it is and delete it, and if you still want it, reinstall it. simple.

Of course :icon_thumbup:
That's why I use Mac.
Still it's necessary to instal some additional software to protect your Mac...
NetMine may be useful for you. It's a firewall that remove all the threats (like viruses, spyware, Trojans, etc) and monitors network.
That's the only thing that protects my Mac, and still I have nothing to worry about :icon_thumbup:

Yep as do I, I have full virus, firewall blah blah protection of course, can never be too careful!

So did I only mine substituted helvetica for helvetica fractions, oh the fun sorting that one out.

I don't have ant AV software either, and haven't for well over 15 years. Apart from a worm under os9 I don't know anyone who has a mac to ever have a problem......yet!

(touches as much wood as is feasibly possible)

If you have clients, you really ought to run AV. Think about it.
