Running XP here... (yes I know I should upgrade to 2000 one of these days...)
A few weeks ago, I tried to open the Fonts folder in Explorer, when I had apparently way too many fonts for Windows to like in the folder, and got really weird problems with themes and windows and such. I managed to kill most of them, but one has remained, and I can not figure out what the hell is causing it. A picture is worth a thousand words (or more), so here is a (unfortunately GIF) screenshot:

This only happens in some subwindows of some programs. WinRar, Trillian, WinZip, and many others. Any ideas on how to fix this?
