We have the same problem with a new 300 MHz Windows NT machine. I don't think
the problem has anything to do with IDL. I can leave the machine doing nothing
overnight (just login screen and screensaver) and in the morning the fonts are
screwed up. I am leaning toward the video hardware/driver as the problem.
