Text is showing up as gibberish in 3 applications

Okay so I just upgraded to Snow leopard and this really weird thing is going on with Apple script text. Every time i go to type something into apple script editor it turns into symbols or the cursor doesn't move. If i copy and paste into text edit the text reads properly. If the script compiles the text will show up properly. This also happens in Automator when using Apple scripts.
Here are a few examples.

With Compiling:

This is also happening in Adium. I will type a sentence in get 2 symbols in the input box theni will send and the other party will be able to read the text properly, but it still shows up wrong on my side.

_*Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?*_

The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure your 3rd party apps are Snow Leopard compatible and know the rumors are that 10.6.2 will be play better w/fonts in some cases.

  • How do I get Alt text to show in DreamweaverCC

    Please excuse my ignorance. I would like to know how to get the Alt text to show when hovering over images. It use to happen naturally in Dreamweaver 3, but now in the latest CC version it doesn't seem to work. I use it to link images to pages so when some one hovers over an image the finger points but no text appears? Is there a setting I have missed as I can't type in the code as I'm a novice? Any advice would be appreciated. The pages are all htm.

    Hi Atrforrooms,
    Use Image Property Inspector dialog in Dreamweaver CC. There is title field, whose value will be displayed on hovering over the image.
    Below is the snapshot for better understanding and title is highlighted there. Try this and let us know if that worked for you.
    Wish you luck.
    thanks,

  • HT4623 I updated my iphone 4 and my daughter's ihone 4s.   Shared account - same bill, different phone numbers.   My texts are showing up on her phone, ex. to my mom (who we both have in contacts).

    I updated my iphone 4 and my daughter's iphone 4s.   It's a family share plan - same bill, different phone numbers.   My texts are showing up on her phone, and vise versa.    Only to contacts that we both have -  ex.    my mother      I'm sure I've done something wrong in the icloud share ........help.

    ON either device go to settings - message - send&receive - either uncheck or remove the apple id.

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

  • HT5538 My brother and I share an iTunes account and his text messages show up on MY macbook. His texts don't show up on my phone though. how can i delete his number off my iMessage on my laptop?

    My brother and I share an iTunes account and his text messages show up on MY macbook. His texts don't show up on my phone though. how can i delete his number off my iMessage on my laptop?

    These are iMessages only.
    He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
    On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
    Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at.

  • Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

    Can someone tell me how to set my name so when I send a text it shows up instead of my phone number

    You can't do that. Only the sending number is transmitted by the carrier with an SMS message. If the recipient has you in their address book, with most smart phones and some others, the name will display, but that's a function of the phone on the receiving end.

  • I downloaded the ios6 to my iphone and my moms phone  Now they are syncronized and I lost my contacts. All my phone numbers have emails in them but no phone numbers. Now whenever I get or send a text it shows up on her phone. How do I reverse it?

    I downloaded the ios6 update for the iphone to my phone and my moms"s phone. Now they are syncronized and I lost my contact telephone numbers. Now when I get a text or send  text it shows up on my mom's phone. I asked for help from the people at the ATT store and had no idea how to help me. That is crazy that they don't even know anything about their own products! This is EXTREMELY frustrating. Did you create a software that cannot be reversed or corrected? How to I restore my phone to the way it was? I am being told it can't be done. I have been an ATT customer for 8 years but I would love to go to Verizon right now. Pleae let me know how to reverse this and get the phones unsynced.

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • I need text to show one letter or word at a time.

    Hi there, I've been having this big issue that I can't seem to find an answer to.
    I'm trying to make it so text in a text box shows one letter or word at a time. (letter at a time preferred.)
    Does anyone know if this is even possible with flash? When I look it up I can never seem to get what I'm trying to find.

    That should be simple to do. Place a text box on Stage, enter the first letter and press F6. In the new frame, add the second letter as well and press F6 again. Keep repeating this (adding an additional letter in every frame) until you have the complete text. Adjust your fps speed as desired and Test your movie.

  • When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

    my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #.  i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Interactive pdf issue, text wont show up when playing the slidewshow

    I am having a hard time trying to figure out how i can add text on top of am mp4 file and making it work once exported as an interactive pdf. For some reason the mo4 plays fine but the text will not show up. It seems like it will work fine when i look at the swf preview windon in indesign. I can add text a to a page with an im image in the back and that works fine. But not sure why the text wont show up if its an mp4 file instead. anyone have any sugestions?

    havent really worked with buttons on Indesign. But I do recall converting the text into an swf file, and placing it on top of the mp4 file, the text is above but its simply a big white box, rather than it just being the text, but thanks for letting me know why it is that my text would never show up haha, It was getting on my last nerves, I may just simply go into my psd file and adding text over all the layers that made the video then using just the mp4 as the first slide without having to go in and adding text with indesing. Hopefully there is a way to work around it, I hate rendering videos with photohsop, takes foreve.

  • T42 (Type 2378) Rescue and Recovery text not showing up in GUI

    I have a machine that I hit the IBM button to restore my system back to its factory settings.  It loads up fine but when I hit the [Restore your system] it pulls up a new window and has 3 bullets I can select from, but there is NO text on the window.  Not even the < Back or Next > or Cancel button texts are showing up. I need to restore it but I don't know which bullet to select and if I select a random one, the next screen pulls up but still no text.  Any ideas?

    Thank you! I had to change my fast preview settings. I chose OpenGL Active instead of Wired Frame. Although, I'll have to play around with it because I got an error message last night that said it caused the program to crash.

    I'm using position and motion blur for my animated text. I changed the font several times to see if there was any license issues and there isn't.
