Apple: Fonts may render incorrectly on Mid-2007 iMacs
Delete font caches to fix.
In Knowledge Base article #306305, Apple notes that there may be slight rendering differences with some fonts on iMac (Mid 2007) computers running Mac OS X 10.4.10.
Apple says:
"Text may appear offset or left-justified in applications such as iPhoto or in some Dashboard widgets. In some cases, the font may appear less smooth."
The company says this issue can be resolved by clearing the Apple Type Services cache, located at /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS, and provides a 6-step process for deleting the file via the Terminal (using the command sudo rm -r /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS). However, you can also simply drag this file to the Trash in the Finder, or use a utility like Font Finagler to delete it and other font caches.
