Stellarium weird letters

I've noticed recently that some letters in the object description and positions in Stellarium are weird looking.


That's the description in the top LH corner of the screen that appears when one clicks on any object.


2's seem to have a square box around them for example.


 


Any takers for a reason for this?...........graphics card in old Dell XP laptop??


It was OK until a few days ago though.

Hi Richard,

I recall this happened to me a couple of times, but it was about a year ago. I remember the names on screen went hieroglyphic and weird...

I simply closed stellarium and rebooted my laptop and it was ok again... And it's been ok since...

Thanks Stephen.
Last night everything was fine. 
It happens on some days, then clears itself on other days.
Maybe my laptop gets a headache. :)
