I'm getting strange characters displayed on my N95 screen saver and Calculator.
For instance, instead of the time displayed I'm currently showing '*)2-/' (real local time is 9:57pm) on the screensaver.
Also the Calculator function is unusable, as pressing 1 shows as '😉', 2 shows as '*', 3 shows as '+' etc. etc.
Anyone know what's causing this?
I did change the product code from O2 UK code to a 'Euro 1' one and update to Firmware 12. Could this have caused it? Anybody else had this problem?
Makes it ruddy impossible to tell the time from the screensaver :frown:
Yeah I tried that. I'm using Blue Dots theme, but I still get the problem even if I use any of the Nokia default themes or any other theme.
I notice on the clock on the homescreen, that the character at the 3 o-clock position is also displaying symbols instead of a number (Date/hour?).
I've installed the 3rd Party Calcium calculator, and thankfully that works fine, so I'm not without a usable calc. Also Dialing numbers display perfectly.
I've done 'battery-out' resets etc, but all to no avail. Strange problem this.
Either it's a faulty handset in some way, or there's some setting I've changed that has caused this display fault.
Is your phone set to English?

And is your writing language set to English?
Good point!
Erm, how do I check/change those settings please?
Update: Just found Phone and Writing language set to English. Unless there's some phone code settings I can access to change some more fundamental settings?
I don't know if it's related, but any web page I access on the N95 displays all the text in some Gothic font, not a normal one like Ariel or Times New Roman. Very annoying and I don't know how to change this either!
Fixed it!
Turns out some app I loaded had put some strange fonts in the Mem Card \Resource\Fonts folder.
I used the instructions here...
darlamack.blogs.com/darlamack/2007/05/changing_fonts_.html
and changed all the fonts to Arial (renamed to S60 3rd Edition naming conventions), rebooted, and everything's back to normal.
Happy days 😊
