screwed up system font

[jared@azprop.net]

I have a win 98 system that crashed recently and now it lookes like
some sort of system font is messed up. Many places in different
programs and in the os itself the font looks wierd and blocky
sometimes. check boxes and radio buttons are no longer displayed
correcty and the minimize, maximize, and restore buttons one my
windows are all messed up to. Any ideas?

Those are symptoms of the Marlett font being AWOL or corrupt.
