Safari 5.0.2 upgrade, fonts look thin and soft

[dutchbb]

I've upgraded to Safari 5.0.2 yesterday, now text looks thin and soft and less readable. Is this a bug or is it on purpose? Does anyone know if there a way to get back to how it was before?

Problem solved, needed to clear font cache in OS X.

Those instructions are flawed, especially for snow leopard I am not risking it

Taken from http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10389716-263.html?tag=mncol;title :

Open "Terminal" and enter the following commands to clear the user (or global) databases and restart the server:

atsutil databases -removeUser
atsutil server -shutdown
atsutil server -ping

Worked for me.
