I have F2K3, but have seen it. It usually occurs when system resources are low. I can guarantee it will happen when I'm running Sonar, Audition, Eudora, Opera, Paint Shop Pro, MS Word, Webber, LAME, WinAmp, Teraterm, WS_FTP, Real One, and Midimage at the same time (which I frequently do when revising and testing areas of my website). Running Finale at that point will generate the 'cannot create font' dialog, and only shutting down other programs *before* closing that dialog box will release the resources and re-stabilize everything. I even have a post-it note on the side of my monitor to remind me *not* to run Finale during heavy web updates! Some of these are resource eaters for various display widgets -- I don't program anymore, but I have been told that resource management in Win9x is strained when newer widget-heavy programs are in play. Perhaps F2K4 uses more of those resources? I am also told that WinXP does not have those constraints.
