As a test place the cursor where text should be, then Select All, then use CMD+t to see what font is being used.


Boot into Restore mode,CMD+r keys...


Look at top of screen for Utilities menu...

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.


Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.
