This should help you:

macosx.com - View Single Post - Missing System Fonts.- How to Reestore Them???

And the full thread:

http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-sy...tore-them.html

And if it doesn't I would recommend reinstalling the OS. You don't want to go on with potentially ****ed system fonts, as it will cause really ****ty behavior.

This doesn't neccessarily deal with your specific issue, but has a lot of good font realted info:

Wow.. And I thought only Windows needed to have the OS reloaded when something breaks.. Oh but Macs don't have problems like Windows...

In all seriousness, if its only a few days old, you may as well reload OSX. Its a breeze to re-install.

Surprisingly, when a user overwrites system files, the system becomes unstable. Somehow I don't really think it has anything to do with the OS...
