MonoDevelop shows invalid characters
I am using unity3d 3.5.6, everything was normal yesterday, but today when I stared it shows mono dev like this. It shows invalid characters. I cant understand what's wrong with it. Did anyone faced the same error?

One possible cause could be that the user your're running as doesn't have sufficient read/write permissions.
The user needs write permission to the MD app directory. If s/he doesn't have this permission in /Applications/Unity, it can be copied to the user's home directory (and then you'd haev to update Unitys script editor preference).
I guess I don't understand the answer listed above. Scripts are saved with the Unity project, not in the $$anonymous$$onoDevelop folder in Applications/Unity. You only need to be able to write to the project folder and, since that's created in the user's area, he should be able to write to it.
Your answer
