What fonts are you using?
'xlsfonts > fontlist' from a terminal window (even if you can't read
what's being printed) should then be accessible from a console.
I suspect you're getting a barcode or wingdings type font displayed. Is
there a font selection menu in any of your applications? Have you tried
setting a global X resource for fonts, say:
*font: fixed
...which should set a default, and possibly readable, font for all apps.
