Problem with Displaying Text

Hi,
Certain elements of text have recently been appearing as unreadable smudges on the screen. Example, bold text in HTML, certain fonts sizes in Word.
I have no idea apart from maybe dust or something in the computer. Is this a hardware defect, can one diagnose it with Win 98 tools?
thanks

If you are having this problem when browsing the Internet it is more likely that you are trying to display a certain font that you do not have installed on your machine.

Hope this helps...

Thanks RW, that was the problem. I presume it started when a friend came over with a graphics display CD, it probably overloaded the video card. I guess i need to buy a new one.
