We saw this a few times in the tech support queue a while back. It only 
seems to occur on Mac OS X, and is due to a font ID conflict. Often the 
conflicting font is an old one in the OS 9 Classic font folder, but one 
person had a conflict with a font in the OS X font folder (it is 
possible that person moved an old font into that location.) The native 
system fonts don't seem to be a problem, but third-party fonts may cause it.

If the font is recognizable, just look in both font folders to find it 
and remove it. If it isn't immediately recognizable, then the only cure 
is to remove third-party fonts one at a time and restart Revolution to 
see which one it is.

If the font is necessary for other work, then there are a few utilities 
out there that can assign new IDs to a font. That also reportedly works.
