I'm not sure what you mean by "legends in the heading".  And when you say "have 
turned into boxes", are you saying that the problem just recently started?  Or 
have you always found X11 emacs unusable?

My best guess is that the problem is caused by your customizations.  What 
happens if you run 'emacs -Q'?

If you still see the problem with 'emacs -Q', please give a more detailed bug 
report, following the guidelines here:

And please say exactly how you're starting emacs.
