I'm having a problem with certain characters not displaying properly on my screen. This problem is not present at startup, but after loading firefox or clicking on the applications button a few times, I start to lose certain characters, they will just display as either a dark box or as a shaded box with the letter barely visable in the background. Can anyone maybe help me out as to why it is doing this and what there is I can do to resolve this issue? I am extremely new to linux, so please bare with my noobish-ness. oh fyi . ubunto 9.0.4 is what Im running.... I've also taken a screen shot of it when it was just starting to mess up, but I'm not sure how to add it to this post! it gets worse and worse as I use the computer longer and longer. please help, I love this OS, but really don't want to have to deal with guessing what things say! I will use * to depict what it's doing in the following example. right now the top of this program says "U*bunu Forums - Post New **read - Mo*illa Firefox" and it's not just specific to window names, it's in drop downs, it's in text I type, Im'd in Pidgin, anywhere text is displayed, I'm losing characters! Please help! Thanks.
