On a brand new installation of windows 7, text in the character creation is rendered as blocks: This happens on every resolution and quality preset. It could just be something like a missing font in which case, what font is being used so I can install it?
Fonts are baked into the game as textures, its not reliant on the fonts you have installed on the system. Looks like a corrupt game almost, given the whole window is off too. You can attempt a redownload... I know that's an inconvenience, but its all I can offer right now. A "Verify game files" option is somewhere on my TODO list.
