Solved Certain characters not showing up

[inaniloquent]

I have a weird, new problem where certain characters are not showing up in my browser.
The screenshot below shows this problem: I made the thread shown originally and in the white spaces there should be a bunch of unicode characters. They don't show up since I reinstalled Windows a couple of weeks ago.
How do I get them back?

Is Blackletter the only font with this problem?

What happens if you copy the text in Firefox and paste into Notepad or another app?

Do you have the same problem using another browser?

Does this only show up on Gaiaonline.com?

Do you use any registry cleaners? Since when are you seeing this? try a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html to a date before that.

You never answered my question "Is Blackletter the only font with this problem?"

I don't but it's been like this since I reinstalled windows a few weeks ago I think so there is not much point in doing that.

no, as you can see in the few screenshots i posted it is blackletter and also a number of other misc symbols that don't work, such as hearts, stars, ticks and crosses and many many more

If your problem is with just Blackletter try downloading it from another site.

*sigh* it's not just with blackletter and it's not something you download. they're writable characters.

What if you create a new user account? Do you experience the same problems there? http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/181024-user-account-create.html

I am not talking about a new firefox user but a new Windows user.

Try this:

Start> In search box type fonts> Enter> Font settings on left> See if Hide fonts based on language settings is checked, or unchecked (mine is checked)> Try the setting with it checked and unchecked

You can also click the Reset default font settings if that does not work.
