Check fonts if Safari won't load any pages

Problems in FONT BOOK IN OS X 10.3.4

This is what I did to solve my problem. It turns out that as I was "Resolving Duplicates" in my font book yesterday, somehow one of my Helvetica (HelveticaNeue 1) was turned off in the system by Font Book. As I hit forum after forum on-line, a trend became clear that you should really never "Resolve Duplicates". EVER. (buggy) Enabling and Disabling seem to be wary as well, I will see in the future.
I added the font HelveticaNeue 1 to my user / library / fonts folder and am back in business. This is how I solved MY problem, I don't know if it will help others. Now all my applications that were not responding - Safari, Text Edit, Help, Mail, Address book..... are back. All I did was add that Helvetica font to my fonts.
Hope this helps all who are flailing around at the moment!
I would still like to know if I can trash font Book all together and work from my Fonts folder, adding fonts as I use them. The Font Book is just too... beta?
