I've found many threads which are oh-so-close to describing my problem -- but
no solutions.

The displayed font for dialogs, etc are a in tiny little font which in
nearly unreadable.
An example is the "Turn off computer" dialog: The font on the title bar
looks to be courier (but other dialog title bars have a different font). It
says "Turn off compu" before the text get clipped. The yellow, red, and green
icons are not squares but rectangles. The "cancel" font is in a tiny font.

I cannot affect any of these fonts through the Display Properties:
Appearance: Advanced tab even though the preview indicates the change.

I don't know if this has any bearing, but my unhappy PC has 923 hidden *.fon
files while my happy PC has *only* 129 (a complete subset).

Both machines are XP SP3
