Probably fonts. Open FontBook and deactivate any Helvetica fonts that aren't required by the system. Helvetica Fractions can cause problems. Try setting Safari and Mail to a font other than Helvetica; perhaps Verdana.

Do you have any other user fonts placed in System/Library/Fonts? Move them out and make your own fonts folder in the first layer of your hard drive directory. Link to them from there.

Hope that helps.

You might want to check for bad fonts as well.
