need more information on this.

I have seen this caused by a couple of things.

bad XNA install. uninstall all XNA versions and reinstall xna 3.1

Some non english languages dont seem to have a complete font set. I fixed most of these so that they would use a font that was available.

please check the known issues forum.

The issue is often because the original game is not 15b and the older versions of stardrive have different content and are missing some files such as this font file.

make sure the installed game is stardrive 15b before installing BlackBox.
