  1. "X" button and certain symbols systemwide have changed to a box. How to fix this?


    When I mouse over a taskbar item, the little X that used to be there is now a white box. I'm seeing boxes all over the system, like in the search menu when I click the magnifying glass. I deleted some fonts a while back b/c I got sick of scrolling past them when using my graphic design software there are a LOT of them, but I messed something up. I've done the 'restore all fonts' and 'download all languages' already, and no difference. Thanks for any help.Shawn
