Initially I have the “macOS wants to make changes” screen and then I went into safe mode and it was all question mark boxes everywhere. I tried the font app but it is also question marks.
please help!
cheers and thanks
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14
Corrupt fonts.
Barney-15E has pointed in you in the correct direction.
If this does not resolve your issue immediately, Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
to clear caches. Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test
MacBook Air wants to make changes virus - can’t do anything?
No one seems to comprehend that you already tried Safe Mode and that you're unable to do anything, due to the fact nothing is readable.
That Mac's macOS installation is corrupted. Nothing will work until you restore its content from a backup preceding the onset of that corruption: Restore your Mac from a backup - Apple Support
Before you do that, try reinstalling macOS: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support
Open Font Book and choose "Restore standard fonts" from the File menu.
It is the second to last item in the File Menu.
There is no reason to double post:

it only confuses the issue.
It started with one issue then I was able to start in safe mode but all still messed up...apologies
Question Boxes Everywhere Can’t fix
