Re: Whsy am I getting these symbols instead of the corect ones
Presumably cross-domain issues with web-fonts. I get the correct icons when I visit garylittle.com, and incorrect when I visit www.garylittle.com. You can fix this via .htaccess, as described in this old wiki article:

Re: Whsy am I getting these symbols instead of the corect ones
Fixed it, but the .htaccess had been altered by Wordpress installation. Here is what was there:
# rewrite www.example.com → example.com
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPressProbably should make a note of this for others.

Re: Whsy am I getting these symbols instead of the corect ones
Perhaps I did not install Wordpress correctly. You stated that it should be installed in the same domain as /backlilght so I installed in /backlight. Was that wrong??
And if so how do I recover from that.

Re: Whsy am I getting these symbols instead of the corect ones
If you're site is based on Backlight, then WordPress should not be installed in the root. Install it in a sub-folder.
You'll need to delete all the WordPress files via FTP. Create a new folder in the root of your site. Name it "blog" or something similar.
Install WordPress in the blog/ folder

Whichever ones are not Backlight files. Look on your computer in the unzipped Backlight folder and compare what's there to what's in the backlight/ folder on your site.

Fixed it, but the .htaccess had been altered by Wordpress installation.
In .htaccess, the beginning and ending of the Wordpress code is marked, for example "# END WordPress". Whatever changes you make to the file, put before or after the Wordpress code. If Wordpress changes your .htaccess file, it should only change the interior of the block it's marked off, and shouldn't should anything outside of that.
