You are missing the symbol font, AIGDT.  If you uninstalled Inventor 2010 after installing Inventor 2014, it may be that the 2010 uninstaller removed that font.

I've attached the font file-- place it in the fonts folder on your system (in my Windows 7 system it is C:\Windows\Fonts\), then reboot.

This information comes from searching on the Autodesk knowledge base, from this article: Special characters and symbols are not displayed correctly in drawings.  However, the path shown in the article is not correct, at least on my system.
