Text showing up in crazy symbols

MrCool0760 · 11-03-2009, 08:20 AM

How come sometimes when a word has a quotation mark or apostrophe something, it just shows up like this? donâ€™t

if you cant see that, basically its just a bunch of other language symbols, TM symbols, and other gobbly junk. how can i fix this?

One of two quick possible reasons come to mind - you have some problems with your fonts or the default language for non-Unicode programs is selected wrong.
The first thing can probably be solved by going into your appearance settings and settings all the fonts to defalt(aerial narrow).For the second one you have to go to regional and language settings, go to advanced and select the correct language there.
Note that i might be off completely, you didnt really provide much info.

What program are you experiencing this? Is it Microsoft Word?

If so I may be able to suggest something that might help.
