Clear your font cache. You can find many tools that can do this; however, I personally use this freebie:
FontNuke 1.0.5 - MacUpdate

You probably need to trash some font. If you provide a screenshot, it would be easier to help.

Ok, Here's is the solution:
1. Open Terminal.
2. Type the following two commands:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR`
open ..
3. In the Finder window that appears, drag the folders -Caches-, -Tmp- and TemporaryItems to the Trash, if they exist.
4. Restart. You may get a message that the boot cache is being rebuilt.
Once you have restarted, your font problem may be gone.

Tiger and Leopard font caches can be cleared by doing a "Safe" boot (hold shift key on restart).
