Text invisible when typing in online web forms
Just recently when typing into text fields on web forms, my text is invisible. For example, I had a little trouble registering for this help service as I could not see what I was typing. The cursor is visible and moving, but no text is visible. This does not happen on my other browsers and didn't happen in Firefox until very recently. I notice however that this form I am currently typing in is ok; I guess it has different coding behind it. Another problem that started around the same time - when I go back to previous page, it doesn't go back to last position but puts me back at the top of the page. Don't know if this is related.

This is more likely a font problem (missing or corrupted) then an encoding issue.
Try to disable the website fonts as a test and try a few different default (serif/sans-serif) fonts.
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced ([ ] Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above)
If that works then you need to reinstall the corrupted font.
Thanks for your response cor-el. However, that box was already checked. Mysteriously, I find today that everything is back to normal. Problem solved, but I don't know why. This was happening over a number of sessions. Guess it will have to remain a mystery.
