Some fonts appear as rectangles
Recently I have been noticing that when certain people send me an instant message, the text appears as a bunch of rectangles. I started noticing that certain fonts were exhibhiting this behavior (i.e. Courier New does it, for one). I am noticing more and more fonts are becoming this way.
I just installed a new version of MS Office, and it loaded a whole slew of new fonts with it. They all appear as normal in the fonts menu, but when I select them, it immediately reverts back to the previous font when I begin typing. Surely the fonts were not corrupt on the CD-ROM. Is this a problem with the font files themselves, or with some other file that manages them? Fonts in the general library or user library?
Any experience or insight is appreciated. Thanks!
