Thanks. I'll ask around.

The font thing was a bit of a stab in the dark.  Thought I would ask
here before I chased my own tail trying to find a a font.  Really have
no idea whether or not it is a font issue and don't know a font that
"works".  Will ask the GTK mailing list though and see if anyone else
has experienced something similar.  Then try some random font changes.

Thanks for your help.

Peter.
