Weird font in Limewire

[SFJenna]

I opened my Limewire today and there is a weird font showing for the name of the songs I downloaded previously, and for other stuff as well. I had no problems with it until now. I tried to uninstall and reinstall. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I tried to find it in here in the forums about this, but nothing fits.
I have Windows XP
IE8
I recently downloaded an update for Windows.
I hope someone can help me.

Thanks,
SFJenn

Which version of LW are you using & which version of Java (open LW > Help > About LimeWire)?

Try reinstalling Java. Go to the link here Java SE Downloads & download the JRE offline installer. Remove all other Java versions installed on your computer via Control Panel. Next, install the version that you've just downloaded. Restart your computer.

If that doesn't help, try an older Java version.
If you're using LW 4, try this version: Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 16

And if you're using LW 5 (needs to have Java 6), try this version: Archive: Download Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) 6u5

Just remember to remove any other Java versions installed, before installing another version. And reboot after installing

hmmmmm.....does the font on this forum, and other webpages, look funny also?

Just the file library and when I type in the search for a song it's weird. It's in an unreadable font like Greek. Any way to solve this?

Are all LW's tabs & buttons in a different language as well? If so, try changing language.

If you're using LW 5 click here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...-language.html

If only some of LW shows in the weird language, did you try reinstalling Java as in post #2?
