'-------------------
Extendified Characters... I can't do that myself, it's something specific to
your machine. I see a black block. I think your 'strange box thingies' are
the character that a font uses when the character specified doesn't exist.
This is possible in some Uppercase only fonts when you use lower case, or
when using extended characters in fonts with them missing.
Hope this helps,
