Hi Carrie!

Thanks for your help. I tried to replace the Tahoma font
file (it looks like Windows used the bold Tahoma instead of
the regular, I don't know..).

After that (it didn't work) I did as you advised and
reinstalled the fonts via XP In-Place Upgrade. That solved
the problem.

Kind regards, Florian
