I have done a test of reinstalling Dapper on a spare hard drive. No 
problems with the fonts. Then I upgraded it, using a CD which had all 
the upgrades on, including today's. however, I didn't upgrade Firefox 
or Thunderbird from the CD. Fonts went bad again. So it definitely 
appears to be an upgrade which is causing it. But which one?

Any ideas, please, and I will downgrade that package again.

Many thanks
