I use Windows Server 2003. It also ran an automatic update yesterday. 
Something seems to have gone wrong with the system font. I don't use IDLE, 
but I use OutlookExpress and Textpad, and they both show a similar effect.

I can live with it for now. I am hoping (with fingers crossed) that enough 
people will complain to Microsoft that they will issue a fix shortly.
