[G4] System Font

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Glen,

I can help you with the keyboard typing unexpected characters. You  
keyboard is set to a different character mapping. To change  this go  
to Apple Menu, System Preferences, and then click on International  
section. Then look at the input  tab and check the box next to the  
language / keyboard layout you want.  Usually it should be set to  
U.S. Keyboard Roman. Also while there check the language tab and make  
sure it is matching the language you want to use on the system.
