It's not.

Partly because aboput a year I replaced all CLOSE# calls with a function 
call which checked the handle for zero, closed it if non-zero, and set it 
to zero.

Secondly because at this poiont in the program it hasn't closed anything - 
it's still starting up.

I still want to know what mechanism could cause the desktop font to revert 
to the system font. Is it, for example, a pointer in shared memory which 
could be corrupted?
