I recently got a copy of Mathematica 4.2.1.0. I've been noticing several font 
issues since loading.

A command like
Plot[x,{x,0,1},Frame\[Rule]True,TextStyle\[Rule]{FontSize\[Rule]12}]

Causes the horizontal axis to be covered over by the tick labels (the 
default TextStyle settings seem to work).

Also, all previous plots that I've stored on my machine in wmf form now 
have font problems (the classic parenthesis turn into giant H's).

Running same examples in 4.2.0 on same machine causes same problems, 
indicating font install issue.

Running same cases on another machine that has never seen 4.2.1 works as 
expected.

Anyone seen similar problems? Suggestions? I'll probably uninstall 
everything, and start over with 4.2.0.
