If that's so, there may be (and probably are) other problems. Doing an  
archive & install would be a Good Idea™.

1 obtain the font required, by whatever method. (Copy from the System/ 
Library/Fonts folder in another Mac, use Pacifist on an install disc,  
whatever)

2 place the font somewhere easy to access

3 log in as root

4 move the font to the correct location

5 log out.
