    Hi Marlene,

     

    You either have a Corrpt Fnt, or possibly installed some new bad font.

     

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

     

    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.
