I fiddled around and changed the fontset to Bitstream.. Dont know what happened exactly... I tried to start the networksettings too... and got a crash report... after the fonts changed...

The Ahem font is used for tests (in WebKit for example). It looks like black squares on purpose so it has predictible metrics. Make sure your filesystem is safe, it looks like some settings files were corrupt?

You can use checkfs to check the filesystem:

checkfs /boot

The Ahem font was probably installed from a package, look for it in HaikuDepot and uninstall it. If it is not there, look in system/non-packaged/data/fonts or home/config/non-packaged/data/fonts.

Haiku did "repair" the font settings. It's just that it made a very bad choice of font this time (it takes the first one alphabetically I think). Fixing this is related to localization issues with fonts: we should use fontconfig to know whether a font is suitable for the currently selected language.
