You need a font which supports the characters you are looking at. DejaVu Sans Mono is an example of a great and free font: http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page There will still be lots of characters that are not supported by a particular font. Put the cursor on one of the solid-block characters and type ga to see its hex (and decimal) code. You can also type g8 to see the bytes used to represent that character in UTF-8. There will be a page somewhere with a list of typical Unicode characters and their hex codes, and you can copy/paste some into Vim to confirm that you are getting the text, and that your problem is therefore the font.
