A few days ago I turned on my iMac G5 and saw this. It can still run applications (in which the text appears fine), but the finder text is all these A's with the boxes around them. I have tried repairing permissions and running MacJanitor. I tried to do an archive install and it told me i should restart and try again when it couldnt verify the specified (target) disc. Has anybody seen this before and is there anything that can be done about it? Thanks.
 
Did you mess around with the system files? Erase and Install in this situation.
If that doesn't help, call Apple.
