Problem now solved. This started two days ago and I sat and thought what I
had done that could cause a problem. I had installed some free fonts
provided by Mathew Phillips, FreeMono, FreeSans and FreeSerif.

After I had removed these (FreeMono required a shutdown and Shift power-up
to avoid the computer running !Boot) all seems to be back to normal. It
would seem that FreeMono was the culprit.
