Strange Character Set

I'll attach a picture of one example.  For many of the common buttons and text used by LabVIEW I suddenly have strange characters displayed instead of regular English.  What can I do to restore English?

I should have mentioned that in the picture you can see the strange characters on the buttons that should say "OK" and "Cancel"

Please elaborate on "suddenly."  Can you recall doing anything "unusual" right before you noticed the issue?

What version of LabVIEW are you using?  What version of Windows?

 

Check this out.  Why does my LabVIEW occasionally display in Chinese?  While yours isn't Chinese, it sounds like a similar problem.  I'm thinking if the Chinese character sets aren't installed, this is what Chinese might look like.

My eyes must be tired.  That attachment looks like the screenshot was made by taking a picture of your (old CRT) monitor with a camera...  Smiley Frustrated

 

I'm going to get another cup of coffee before my next meeting.
