Text in Chat Illegible?

[Zeradeth_]

So...I signed on for the first time today to find myself unable to read anything in chat. I couldn't even read the options in the start-up menu, which leads me to believe that this is most likely client-side. I've tried and cannot fix it myself. I'm simply not good enough with install/uninstall/techy stuff >.> I know, I should know this stuff, leeme lone.

Anywho, this is what I get when I try to type in-game:


I've tried switching back to the default Texture Pack, and the exact same thing happens. I've also tried restarting Minecraft, and it doesn't fix it.

Any suggestions on what to do to fix it would be welcome!

This is a bug which is being fixed for 1.6.2.

Turn the texture pack off, then restart the client.

Thanks for the info, Deekay. And thanks for the advice, Alicia. qu1cks1lva actually talked me through it on mumble and helped me get the chat working again, but my computer's having issues with minecraft, so I'm gonna leave it alone for now. Not gonna try installing the resource pack again. Might try again after 1.6.2.

In case anyone else finds themselves with this issue, the way I fixed it was to rename my .minecraft folder and restart the launcher.

Thanks again, guys!
