The text on some web pages shows up as open boxes - as if it is not identifiying a character set. I have reinstalled Firefox and all profile files with no success.

MANY pages show text as open box characters - rendering the pages unreadable. I have a screen shot of just one example to show here: http://avgraphics.net/openboxes.png. Please help! I cannot do my web work with this problem.

Looks that you have a problem with the Tahoma font that is specified for that text. .style1 { font-family: Tahoma;font-size: 11pt; } You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues: http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/garbled_fonts_troubleshooting_guide.html - CreativeTechs Tips: Garbled Fonts Troubleshooting Guide http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/multipleappsquit.html - Font Book 2.0 Help: Checking for damaged fonts
