unusual characters are letters from a different alphabet from the characters that the locale uses.
Cause
Possible causes are:
• TFTP server does not have the correct set of locale and font files
• XML files or other files are specified as a font file
• The font and locale files did not download successfully.
Solution
• Font files and locale files must be in the same directory.
• Do not add or change files in the locale and font folder structure.

files downloaded successfully. If they did not, try the download again.
