Most likely it's related to the new fonts installed for Snow Leopard and
your font caches. Directions here. Use Font Nuke to delete your caches. Be
careful with any utilities to be sure they are Snow Leopard ready.

Thanks Dianne! some good advice here. I run through the first two suggestions with no success. But the combination of removing the Microsoft fonts suggested and a clean install of Snow Leopard seemed to solve the problem.

I can now resume normal service.

Thanks
