Safari showing weird characters and letters and LOTS of whitespaces!!

Hi!
I've installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard (nice program), anyway - Safari has been messed up now. It is showing lots and lots of whitespaces and just single letters like k s Ss and that kind of stuff, this picture show an email I've read (http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad250/Dwatten/Skrmbillede2009-09-28kl164217.p ng)
What am I supposed to do??
-Thanks in advance
Dennis

By the way - I've installed them by dragging them into the SYSTEM font folder I didn't know I oculd just double-click the font and then it would be installed into the font book.. But can I reinstall the font book and all system fonts back to SYSTEM DEFAULT?
I would really like to clean up my fonts one time for all instead of deleting some and then manually putting the ones I need into the font book..

  • BB Desktop shows weird characters

    My BB Desktop shows weird characters.
    Does anyone know why and what i can do about it so i can read the characters again?

    Hey G66,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    To better assist you can you provide a screen shot of the characters you are seeing? Also what language was selected when you completed the install?
    Thanks.

  • Inspector Adjustments HUD show weird characters

    My Aperture Version 3.2.1 all of a sudden shows weird characters in my inspector adjustments HUD. I.e. Instead of CropOperations I now read DGCrop Operations and the likes. It's ever more weired in the full screen retouch adjustments panel. There one can read wordings such as DGGNGSmoothing Operation and other crazy nomenclature.
    The first time I experienced that I completely deinstalled my current Aperture version and reinstalled a fresh copy. Everything was fine for a day or two. However last night it came back out of the blue.
    Does anyone have an idea what's happening here.
    See these screenshots for better explanation of this problem. Thanks.

    Do you perhaps have two Aperture installions - the old one with weird menus and the new installation, freshly installed from the App Store? Search with Spotlight for "Aperture". Your most recent Apterure should be the one installed in "Applications"; is the one you deleted still sitting in the Trash?
    After force-quitting the new Aperture and opening again your Aperture Library could still be set to be opened with the older Aperture Version, if that were still there.
    Where is that DGGNG string coming from?
    searching with locate from the Terminal I found the string inside the Aperture.app package (and the iPhoto.app), as part of the localization strings of the "Geode.framework"
    % locate DGGNG
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBlurOperation.strings
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBurnOperation.strings
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGContrastOperation.strings
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
    /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGTintOperation.strings
    /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGVibrancyOperation.strings
    If I look inside these localization files with XCode, I see the correct description of these effects:
    %open -aXCode /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/
    A/Resources/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
    /* Interface */
    DGGNGMultiplyOperation = "Polarize";
    DGGNGMultiplyOperationLong = "Polarize (Multiply)";
    inputIntensity = "Intensity";
    inputIntensityTooltip = "The amount of polarization effect applied to the area brushed on the image";
    For some strange reason your Aperture seems to use the filename of the localization file instead of the strings defined inside the file? Are maybe the correct localization files missing in your Aperture version? Which country have you set in the "Language and Text" preference pane of the System Preferences? I did not see a localization file for "british english", eg.

  • My screen is oversensitive and letters and numbers jump onto the screen when my finger gets close so that it is impossible to write what I want. I tried turning on and off the phone but still the same when I turn back on. Any help or advice appreciated

    You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

  • Text shows gray boxes with letters and numbers?

    Instead of showing certain characters/ASCII, it instead shows gray boxes with 4 letters/numbers. I have the "allow pages to choose their own fonts" checked, but it is the same with it on and off.
    It was like this since I installed firefox, and fiddling with the font options did nothing. :/

    Those are Unicode codepoints. They're displayed when there's no font that can display the character in question.
    What are the websites where this happens?
    What are the codes in question? Please provide a screenshot.

    @juan0215 ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  The first thing you are going to have to do is find a way of backing up your data from your hard drive.
    Once you have done that then you will want to do a full system recovery.  This is only if this problem exist in safe mode as well as in normal operations.
    Here is a link to help you boot into safe mode.

    If you are still having the problem in Safe Mode then you will have to back up your data the best you can and do the system recovery.  This will take you back to the systems original configuration.
    Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8)
    If after the recovery you still have the same issue then you will need a repair.  For this you will have to contact HP phone support.

  • Dialog title shows weird characters when losing focus

    Hi all,
    a localized application with two configured languages has problems with the title of a modal dialog. Opening the dialog works fine, the text is displayed properly. After klicking into the main screen (so the modal dialog loses the focus), some weird characters are displayed in the title (looks chinese). The buttons that are localized with the same resourcebundle stay normal. Does anybody know this problem?
    Regards, Robert4

    More information:
    This problem does not occur at all workstations. Some do not have this problem at all. But it's all on Windows XP SP 1.
    Maybe a threading problem? I cannot imagine.........

  • Reminders showing weird characters when typing

    When I type in a new reminder on icloud.com (I am using WIndows 7) all of the sudden I am seeing gibberish characters.  They become fine when I hit enter or details or when reading something typed.. But as I am typing, they are just weird chaarcters.,. Anyone else have this issue? How can I fix?

    I'll tell you whatever you want to hear but wouldn't you prefer hearing the truth?
    Personally, I'd be more concerned about someone seeing what keys my finger depressed while entering the PW. The text on the keys is much larger and much easier to see than the text on the entry area. Bottom line is that I'd never enter any PW under any circumstances while someone else is watching.

  • Unable to login windows 8, password box shows weird characters

    I have had this issue several times, reset or restoring doesn't help. Luckily I made a system Image after full installation allowing me to restore my computer with all applications and tooling but it is anoying.
    What happens: After rebooting (at some moment in time after a new install) typing in the password or pin gives all sorts of strange characters so the password is never correct. Sometimes using the onscreen keyboard works. Once logged in I get the same issue
    when I try to change the password. This seems to also happen in other password fields.
    Am I contnouosly being Hi-Jacked, since I have RDP-port forwarded in my Firewall (hardware as well as Windows Firewall) or is this a bug?

    Hi,
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Can you logon with Safe Mode with networking? Does the issue occurs?

  • Japanese  document names not showing up in Japanese letters

    Hello
    This is a screen font problem, I believe.
    Up until recently, I set my main language to Japanese with English as a sub-language. Thus all menus and computer HELP etc. was in Japanese. But, I no longer need to do that, so I changed my main language to English so I can see HELP and menus in English. I kept Japanese as the sub-language. I am so much happier now that I can use the computer in English, but do work in Japanese.
    I can still type in Japanese - I need to do that, and I view internet pages in Japanese. WORD docs - I can type in Japanese with no problem. But I have noticed an odd thing. Any document I name using Japanese letters turns to greeked text when viewed on the desktop or in a selection window when looking for a doc to open. But when I open the file, I can see the correct Japanese letters of the name of the file at the top of the doc. window.
    ALSO - and this is odd-, any old file that I named using Japanese letters before I switched languages, still shows on the desktop in the correct Japanese letters. It shows up correctly everywhere. Never greeked.
    Why do old files show the correct Japanese letters and NEW files only get greeked??
    Is there any way I can chanage the screen font or system font to OSAKA, the font used for Japanese sytesms, but in my English/Japanese sytsem?? Why is my screen font showing old files correctly in the Japanese language, but it can not display newly made file names in Japanese (the Japanese content inside the file is no problem. it shows up correctly.)
    I realize that I can workaround this problem just by naming all my files using English text, but that seems incomplete and not a real answer to me.
    Regards,

    Is this problem only with Word docs (and not, say TextEdit)? If so, Word X or Word 2004? Japanese or English Word? For a Word problem you might want to ask on their support groups too:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
    You can't change the system font.
    If you know Japanese well, you might also ask in the Japanese forums:

    Hello,
    Thanks for your post - and sorry for the late response. At the moment it isn't possible to show hidden characters in Buzzword, and I'm afraid I can't say whether it's high on our priority list. If it's a feature you would like to see in the service, I recommend posting it at our Ideas site (http://ideas.acrobat.com) where people can post, vote, and comment on ideas and suggestions for Acrobat.com functions and features.
    Thanks again!
