why did my north arrow and marker symbols turn into explanation points and numbers in my esri.style symbology file?
Mapping Center Answer:
The most likely cause for this problem, is that your fonts are either missing or corrupt. When Microsoft Windows cannot find the correctly associated font (like esri_11.ttf) there will be a font substitution using the next available in alphabetical order of a font. In this case you probably got the characters showing up from Arial.ttf instead of either Esri font.
Check that your fonts are properly installed under your Windows/Fonts directrory, or reinstall them to fix the problem.
