boxes rather than text

At the top of the Internet Explorer V.7 browser page, the text is now boxes.
It's the blue bar showing the title of the page being displayed.

Wish I could explain it better.

It's the kind of characters that are displayed when the wrong editor is used. Like text that was written using a older version then opened with a newer word version.

thanks for any help,

Dennis

 

Thanks Pete,

I tried changing the font on this machine and nothing seemed to happen.
I closed the window and reopened it. still nothing.

I went to Outlook Express/ options/ Font/ and broused the fonts, what has replaced the text in Internet Explorer, the blue bar, looks like [ MV Boli ] Font

How to change Font in the Internt Explorer Title Bar

In Control Panel/ click Display or right click desktop/ Properties/ click Appearance Tab/ Advanced/ click Item: [-----] pull down button/ scroll to Active Title Bar/ choose font to change/ click ok

This worked perfect

Thanks for the help Pete

I have another problem that's been occurring as long as I can remember.
but I should post it to the correct group, don't want to get in trouble.

My OS doesn't remember the checked boxes to allow, open reoccurring events, such as remember me in yahoo sign in. Remember Allow / Deny in zone alarm.
which group would be correct to post this question in?

I figured out how to change the Font, it works on my notebook.

My friend still has the squares after following your instructions. It may be on select pages, I'll have to check the next time I there.

thanks again Pete,
