When it happened it lasted for a month or so and magically went away. Now it's back. (really annoys me) The problem here is that special characters (The 'cool' ones people use in their names and stuff) have turned into squares. A pretty good example of this is tetris or snake in Deathrun. (Everything is a square :bitchpls:) Anyone know of or have a definite fix for this? Link to comment

(AFAIK) I to will get these square -Its just the way Windows displays text it doesn't know.. I really can't say anything specific... As I always just shrugged off this issue Link to comment

I want to run a quick test, go to Start - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map Are there any special characters missing? Any weird symbols or do more of those square boxes appear?

shoiep Posted April 25, 2013 Content Count: 2941 Joined: 02/11/12 Status: Offline Share Posted April 25, 2013 Looked over which fonts had the squares. Installed all the fonts that had the squares and boxes. Restarted my computer. I still have Squares and Boxes in CS:S. Link to comment

Like I said, I dont know how to fix it.. Just giving what I think is the problem. Link to comment

Like I said, I dont know how to fix it.. Just giving what I think is the problem. More a shot in the dark. I am doing research for what font the source engine / css uses. No luck so far. Just a little question. The blocks at the left of the screen with three coloured white. Are they meant to be there? Or are those also part of the issue? Link to comment
