> Hello,
> I am using a MacBookPro with OS Tahoe 26.2 (Apple M1 Max, 64 GB memory, 2,8 TB available on hard disk) and suddenly encounter a display problem in ChimeraX where all letters are now shown as a question mark (see screenshots). The computer has all fonts required for ChimeraX and now we do not know what else to check. We reinstalled the latest version of Chimera X and also tried earlier versions but this did not help. Neither restarting the mac improved this situation. Could this be an incompatibility with the latest OS software or with specific system settings? I would be grateful if you could let us know how we could proceed in solving this problem.
