If you suspect it to be a (WinMe) registry issue AND (as you seem to imply)
the missing text problem has happened only fairly recently, you could try a System Restore (assuming your SR points go back far enough) and see if that corrects the problem. NB. depending on how far back you need to go could affect any modifications (hardware/software) you've made to your system since - you may have to 're-do' them. FWIW - Looking back over previous WinMe NG posts, very few font related issues seem to have been fixed by any suggestions offered except a fresh, clean WinMe re-installation.

At one point she said to have done an SR, I believe, which means the only
thing left would be a fresh, clean re-install. That seems to be quite radical to me, since only Spybot is affected, don't you think, Mart, and what's your take on that? Harry.

Mart:
I do declare my submission and shall refrain from any further involvement. Along the way I had my share of problems with 'Spybot', but none of them so serious as this. They could all be fixed with the methods already mentioned before. On hand of the given info here, nellie should be able to make up her mind. I admire your patience. Harry.

Plenty of patience mixed with a good helping of humour are essential
ingredients in the WinMe news groups, Harry. And talking of haunting, did you ever dump that old 'reference' hard disk? Mart "webster72n" wrote in message ... "Mart" wrote in message ...
