Font Problem

[Stuck in Boston]

Somebody was playing around with my computer and now most
text displayed is unreadable... boxes, dots, all kind of
weird characters. I tried to go in and change the font
settings, but I can't read any of the message boxes or
tabs to determine if I'm even in the right area. Anybody
have any ideas ?

Step # 1...Put a password on your pc to prevent anymore of those pranksters.
I don't know if it is possible that the problem is related to
spy/malware,but it might be, unless you are absolutely sure that someone was
messing with your pc, but, if you are sure then the first thing I would try
is a System Restore to at least a day prior to the text changes. I would
also ask the culprit what they did so you can try to undo it.
