Some more information relative to this problem. By experimentation with Mathematica on Hardy, the following seems to be the case. Mathematica has two types of cells, text cells and input cells, the latter for entering Mathematica commands. If one chooses Format->Text for a text cell, all characters typed in to appear as one would expect. However, for an input cell, letters are rendered in the same color as the background. For example, if you type the word Plot in an input cell, and then choose Format->Options inspector, Global and change the background of the document to say blue, the word Plot then appears in white (the default background color). Starting a new input cell and again typing Plot, the letters are no longer visible--in fact they are in blue.
I have reported this problem to Wolfram support; their reply was that they are not interested in examining the problem until Hardy is released.
