Weird Font Issue?

Those boxes can mean that the system can't find a font that it is requesting, indicating one was moved from its expected place. I had a few problems like this when I moved to Lion. Odd that it would be in this dialog though.
You might try trashing the font caches; that sometimes helps.

A deleted System font is a possibility. However, deleting System fonts is difficult to do and is unlikely to be the cause of the OP's problem--unless he is doing something really stupid. It is more likely that the OP installed a font at conflicts with a System font--or has installed a utility that modified fonts.
Cleaning the font cache is a good idea. If that does not fix the problem, then systematically deactivate any user-installed fonts until the offending font is found. Fonts installed as a part of common application packages like MS Office are unlikely offenders. First, go for the cheap [or free] fonts downloaded from the Internet.
