Chris, Welcome aboard!
Which font is this using, and is this in an English OS (it looks like it is, but I want to be sure). At the outset it looks like a font-related issue... if you change the font to something "generic" like "Arial", do you still have the same issue? And it doesn't look like you have a menu bar in play, right?
