ok so iChat fucked up on me this morning...when I typed in the message it would display properly as I typed it...then I hit enter and it looked like this:
So I tried reinstalling...didn't work...then I deleted everything iChat and tried reinstalling, but it says it cant install V2.1 because it can't find V2...any ideas?? I can't find a download of V2 anywhere except in an old security update...so I tried installing that and it wouldnt install either.

I had a similar problem. It was related to a font issue. pin point which font ichat is using and then find it in your font management program. It may be corrupt.

well that isnt my problem anymore...but I'll bet youre right...I added a bunch of fonts last night.
now I need to get ahold of V2...so I can upgrade to V2.1.

Before doing anything drastic next time, always go to the staple and try and repair permissions. Now that you're past that, reinstall os x.

If you are using Fontbook as your font manager then the chances of it being a font issue are increased. Anything apple gets screwy after installing fonts in fontbook sometimes. My Safari and iChat was all in Korean for a while.

I did repair permissions...nothing.
kOna...don't get a mac man...pain in the fucking ass I tell ya. Mac people will tell you 'They are so simple to use and pretty too!' ... yeah kind of like a barefoot redneck beauty pagent.

yeah now that you say that pope im sure its a font thing...but why the fuck wont apple let you just install iChat V2.1?? Why the hell do I need to have 2.0 installed to upgrade to 2.1 when its a fucking free IM program...???? uhg.

iChat 1 was free. 2 (AV) was included in a paid upgrade with Panther.
