Have you contacted Yahoo at all about this ? ?
Perhaps they can move your mail to a new account...

I doubt it would help.  Back in reply #14, Carbon Dudeoxide suggested he create a Hotmail account or something other than a Yahoo account as a test.  In reply #18, he seems to be saying he tried that and it didn't work, i.e. had the same problem.  So, the problem seems deeper than just his Yahoo email account.

Gotcha soybean.

Open Notepad and type something in...does it show up the same way ? ?
If so your font folder is corrupted and needs repair.

      A good format and reinstall will solve all Windows issues, for a while. Just bite the bullet and do it.  ;)

        Havent done a reformat yet, have to get a new disc, but this problem seems to be getting worse, its not just Yahoo mail thats doing it now, check out these screenshots of other sites doing the same thing, and this is on my fairly new Laptop....I'm hoping a one time bump may have someone here who hasnt seen this thread who may know what the problem is....
