Hi, Chris:

I'm sure I can't help you, because it sounds like its a Windows font
installing problem. However, I wasn't really able to get a good copy of
your "txt" file, either -- something seems to be trying to "helpfully"
interpret it (I use seamonkey, did a save-as, and got

(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

which doesn't particularly resemble any of the screenshots you have). I
suggest using gzip on the file and attaching that -- because mimencode
knows to leave gzip'd contents alone no matter how odd.

Chip Campbell
