These weird characters appeared when I installed Android Studio from the official page (Android Studio shows this too). I ran my Eset Nod32 antivirus and it says everything is alright. Does somebody know how to fix this, please?
It can be due to the font set for menus being corrupt. Change the font in File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance and see if it renders correctly, in which case you'll have to reinstall that font in your computer or just use another one.

My operating system is windows. So in my PC there is one font called 'Ayuthaya.ttf' (that's not windows default font).
I want to use this font in android studio. But in font list from android studio settings I can't find that font.
But in IntelliJ's settings the font is visible. So how can I fix it?
This might be a little too late but in case someone encounters a similar problem.
If you are running Windows Build 1809 then a possible solution would be:
Delete your currently installed font.
Select the font or fonts (regular, light, etc...).
Right-click & select "Install for all users".
Restart Android Studio.
This happens because since build 1809 fonts are installed to:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts
while before build 1809 they were installed to:
C:\Windows\Fonts
Okay so I've actually had this issue in the past, this kind of issue usually happens when you change the default font on Windows. For example, I changed my default windows font to "San Francisco" by Apple and it literally made everything on Android Studio unreadable.
To fix the issue, just change the default font on Windows. If you're having trouble changing the font then I can provide you with a script to change the font.
I've just installed an update to android studio and now I see version 3.0.1
When I look to a toolbar I see that icons became two times smaller than usual.
Is it possible to make them bigger as it was before?
As said in this comment it is an Intended Behavior in version 3.0. But this behavior can be reverted by setting the system property hidpi.allow.fractional to true in file ~AndroidStudioHOME\idea.properties and restart Android Studio.
You can open and edit this file directly from IDE by Help | Edit Custom Properties menu:
hidpi.allow.fractional=true
P.S. But, for example, I'm already used to this size and it seems to me quite comfortable. There is more space for text, especially at 13 inches laptop.
Update Fixed in Android Studio 3.1. Icons become bigger as earlier
Have the same issue after updating to 3.0.1. As of Google Issue Tracker, it seems like a known issue & it is in assigned state. For a temporary fix, we can adjust the UI font of Android Studio from settings as below.
File -> Settings
Appearance & Behavior -> Appearance
Under UI Options, select Override default fonts
Set the size (I am setting size 24 to make the icons & text bigger)
Note : The above steps will make the Android Studio UI ugly but until
a patch is released, we might need to adjust to this.
After I used to the small icons there's a surprise after update to Android Studio 3.1. Icons became big again :)
I have just installed new Android Studio. But when I open Android Studio, it shows weird kind of characters. Text and Labels in Menu bar are scrambled / appears to be some kind of garbage characters. Can anybody help me solving this problem? TIK
P.S I am using Windows 10
I'm running Win10 and haven't got the nightmare you are into. My sympathies. Try this and see if it works.
Navigate to your user data folder. My user name is "Joe", so my folder is c:\Users\joe\AndroidStudio1.3\config\options . See screen shot #1 below.
Open ui.inf.xml in NotePad ( I use notepad++ here ).
Change FONT_FACE to "Consolas" - see screen shot #2 below.
Let me know if this works!

I found out the cause of the issue for the same issue happened in my system. It was caused by the windows font which was somehow not supported by Android studio. I changed the windows font to a standard font e.g. Verdana to fix the issue.
I installed my favorite programming editor font - Inconsolata - on my Macbook Pro, but I can't seem to get it working in Android Studio. I've confirmed that the font works correctly on eclipse, so it is definitely installed correctly.
In the Android Studio options, it just shows a bunch of strange boxed A characters. If I select the font, my entire editor becomes boxed A characters.
Anyone know how to make this font work in Android Studio?
I got Inconsolata working by unselecting "Show only monospaced fonts." Before that, Inconsolata wasn't even showing up. I'm using Windows, but it might work for you.
The most simplest way to change font in Android studio editor is given below:
Step 1: Go to directory C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\jre\lib\fonts
Step 2: Paste the font with.ttf extension i.e.,(True Type Font) file of your custom font.
Step 3: Open Android Studio and set the font through Settings/General/Font in the File Menu. But, make sure that you have to re-open the Android Studio if already open.
I've been using the Visual Studio's Dark Theme for a while now. But as of today it got messed up. I'm not sure what triggered it but I'm speculating that opening an MVC3 project corrupted something. Please see the current behavior below.
How do I get this fixed?
Edit:
The issue is that the "Item foreground" and "Item background" settings gets set to something OTHER than "Default".
The fix is to go to Tools > Options > Environment - Fonts and Colors and setting the said properties to "Default".
Well, I fiddled with the Tools > Options > Environment - Fonts and Colors options for a while and managed to restore order. I'm not sure what messed it up initially!
I have had a lot of issues with the dark theme in VS2012. In order to make it work again I go to Tools -> Options -> Visual Experience and switch it to a different theme and then apply the dark theme again.
