I have a friend that when he types <Shift>-i repeatably his fonds change
to some oriental font. From then on everything is in this font. We think
it is chinese, but it maybe japanese. The only solution we have found is
to turn-off the computer. A restart fixes the font. This is also in
email. Once he reboots he is able to read everything in english. Even

Good Luck,
