Okay, I’m not exactly sure what’s going on here, and I searched “font” and “language” in the sticky and didn’t see anything.
On our home computer we have four users set up, one for each of us. We have our favorites, etc, set up under each user’s profile.
This morning, Ivylad signed off and I signed on to pay bills. Somehow, the fonts on all the icons and in the internet display changed to some weird font. I think it’s Wingdings but my son says isn’t. He says it looks like what happens when your printer goes wonky and prints out some weird stuff instead of what you’re trying to print. Of course, I can’t understand it so I can’t see where to go to change it back to English.
The language is English when I go to websites, so I paid my bills and searched Google, but even in Google, when I type in the search field to figure out the problem, the font typed out as Possible Wingdings or Screwed Up Printer.
In SDMB, when I go to preview a thread by hovering over the title, the preview page is in Possible Wingdings or Screwed Up Printer. I can go into the thread and read it fine.
The font letters are a series of dots, triangles, ///, squares, x’s, ?, tiny checkmarks, etc.
What the hell have I done? Yes, we’ve restarted and turned off and turned back on, and we’ve run RegCure, Spyware Doctor, and AdAware SE.
