Hi.
That's a good sign. It means the need fonts are still on your system.
here are a couple of things I would try:
- open fonts folders and check the fonts are there: Lucida Grande, Helvetica Neue
username > Library > Fonts
Macintosh HD > Library > Fonts
Macintosh HD > System > Library > Fonts
you might have caught something that has changed the PS name of a font or a 'newer' version of one of your font was corrupted and points to the wrong information. See for more details How to change the default system font in Mac OS X | MacIssues

You might need to clean your font caches. I use Suitcase to do this, but there are other ways.

Can you confirm which, if any, font management system do you use and if the same issue appears on other applications?
