[X4U] Strange language

[Mark Des Cotes]

I've had a similar problem and it turned out to be a font issue. Are  
you running any font management software such as Suitcase? If so,  
make sure it is running before you start Mail. When I start mail  
before my font management program I get the same "foreign language"  
that you describe. It affects Safari and a few other apps as well. It  
all boils down to needing a certain font installed but I don't know  
which one. I think it's a Lucida font but I'm not 100% sure.
