Serious bug in Safari for Windows Notice anything missing? Like, y'know, all text in the UI?
Seems like the Lucida Grande fonts included with Safari aren't always recognized properly. (Note that Geneva, interestingly, shows up perfectly fine.) Even copying the Lucida fonts from the Safari directory into \windows\fonts didn't fix it. I'm curious as to how a showstopper bug like this one wasn't caught at all before the beta release... Edited to add: Fixed in the latest beta, as shown in this screenshot. Comments

machine with fewer than 1500 fonts installed.
The programmers have pretty much concluded
that the issue only happens when one has a
reasonably large number of fonts. And
unfortunately, I'm a font collector...

One of Apple's developers, in the forum thread on this issue, pointed out where the problem might lie: the Fonts.plist file under Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari. I'll have to check that when I get the chance, to see whether some corrupt font might be poisoning that file.
Edited to add: It gets even better. The issue appears to be that having over a thousand fonts installed can cause it to skip over some of them when enumerating... -_-;;
