Apple password verification showing weird characters
I recently had to reload Yosemite on my Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) and after booting it up this morning and allowing a application to run, my password box looks like this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Solution 1:
The Font Database is corrupted, you can rebuild it. (NOTE: make backup before performing this)
sudo atsutil databases -remove
And then repair permissions:
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /
After it's finished restart your machine.
Solution 2:
That looks like font corruption. I'd run the "standard toolkit"
Fix permissions, Verify & if necessary Repair disk, using Disk Utility.
Reset Home folder permissions & ACLs using OnyX - Maintenance tab/permissions, tick the box at the top then Execute.
Update to [or re-apply if already up to date] 10.10.5 using the 10.10.5 combo update, not the delta from App Store.
