Boxes instead of text

[muaythai]

Any time I get prompted for my password, the text looks like this:

I know this is a font problem- I've had it before. I can't remember what to look for in Font Book- can anyone please help?

Try this:

Start Font Book.
Select all fonts
Click File>Validate Fonts

You should be prompted to automatically resolve issues or do it manually.

It's something like that anyway. not at my Mac at the moment to check it.

Thanks Hermes- I had a conflict with Lucida. I resolved that one but there's still a few boxes left, ha. Check it out:

Any ideas which font this is?

Thanks!

Now check for duplicate fonts. Font Book>select all fonts>Edit menu>resolve duplicates. Restart.

Well, I think this is part of the problem:

My only option is to remove them... Any ideas?

Yeah remove them and redownload. I'm not 100% sure but I think you're better off using fonts with the .ttf format.

As I say, I'm not completely sure but I think that's what I use (sorry, on iPad again so can't check).
