Quoted from Mac Tips and Tricks:

Finding suspect fonts

Application: Terminal Operating System: Mac OS X

If your system begins to display fonts weirdly or to act erratic when selecting fonts you might have a corrupt font. And rather than the old trial and error method of moving fonts in and out of the folder until the corrupt font is narrowed down, you can use the Terminal application.

To locate possible problem fonts, launch the Terminal application and enter sudo fcache, supplying the password when it's requested. When you do the command will locate any problem fonts as well as help calculate any undetermined font weights. If there are any corrupted fonts, remove them from the folder. This tip is also helpful in updating the cache file after you've added fonts to the system. That way you don't have to restart to make the fonts available for use.

fc-cache

FC-CACHE(1)						      General Commands Manual						       FC-CACHE(1)

NAME

       fc-cache, fonts.cache - create an index of FreeType font files in a directory

SYNOPSIS

       fc-cache [directory-name ...]

DESCRIPTION

       If  directory  arguments are not given, fc-cache uses each directory in the current font configuration.	Each directory is scanned for font
       files readable by FreeType.  A cache is created which contains properties of each font and the associated filename.  This cache is used	to
       speed application startup when using the fontconfig library.

FILES

       fonts.cache    Maps file names to font properties.  Read by the fontconfig library at application startup to locate appropriate fonts.

SEE ALSO

       libfontconfig(3lib)

NOTES

       fc-cache  is  run automatically at system boot to ensure font caches are up to date via the fc-cache service.  The fc-cache service is man-
       aged by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/application/font/fc-cache

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M).	 The  ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
