certain letters won't display

Well, I'm not exactly a computer whiz, so...


I had/have this problem, where my w, y, 8, t, and a few other characters, wouldn't display...

... in iChat, only in the instant message windows.
... in Safari, although it seemed to be selective (i.e. would look fine in this forum, but not on something like eBay or wikipedia)
... in Stickies, in expanded view of a note (but in a minimized window it was fine).


I don't know what or how this is being caused, since I had to wipe my harddrive less than a month ago (twice), but it's probably just something up with the drive, since I used to make this thing do more digital media stuff than I should have. It suddenly stopped a minute ago, dunno why (I was just opening and closing apps to see what else was affected).

I'd be grateful for any help, destructive or creative.
 
It sounds like a font file is corrupted. Do all these apps use the same font, and if so, what font is it? Perhaps you can replace just that one.
