Dropdown menus suddenly in another lanuage (Russian I assume)

[angeltown]

I have a very strange issue that just recently popped up.

Dropdown menus in admin are displaying in another language (Russian, I assume). English is only installed lanuage, and I’ve double-checked that.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause it? It’s highly annoying. I’ve used CS-Cart long enough to have a pretty good idea where my frequently used options are even if I can’t read it, but it’s still HIGHLY annoying and I need to sort it out.

The screenshot above is the conditions dropdown in promotions (catalog).

Here you can see that once you select an option, it displays correctly (in English). But the dropdown options still display in another language.

Okay, mods, you can delete this post if you want.

After digging into this more, I’ve figured out the issue. It’s not another language; I simply assumed it was because I couldn’t read it and hadn’t really LOOKED carefully at the characters.

It’s apparently a corrupt font file on my system. A font obviously became corrupted in this last few weeks.

I inspected the HTML, discovered it is indeed English, and ran the issue through Gemini:
If you look closely at the “gibberish,” it is actually a perfect +1 letter shift in the alphabet (also known as a Caesar Cipher).

• Product becomes Qspevdu (P+1 = Q, r+1 = s, o+1 = p, etc.)
• in becomes jo (i+1 = j, n+1 = o)
• notin becomes opujo
