Help with MAC java issue?

Hey guys, i recently did an update on my mac of the new Java software. The next day i was playing some games on Yahoo! games and some of the fonts on the game screen are all distorted. I read that the new Java update for the ios x 10.6.7 had a lot of issues. I remember i got some error message about some javascript error (don't remember the whole error though). Has anyone out there ran into this, or know about it and its solution?

P.S. - My Java and Javascript and plug-ins, on my browser are all on. I wish i could post a picture of how these fonts look but i dont think that i can do that here.

Thanks

    Just as a point of information...Mac computers use an OS and Apple products such as iPhones, iPads and iPod varieties use IOS.

    Regarding the Java issue, first run repair permissions by using disk utility in the utilities folder. If that doesn't correct the issue, try to create the error message again, and copy it down. Than go to Apple discussion forums, linked below, and search the discussion group for 10.6 (not the discussion group for your mac) by referencing the error message you have received.
