Wrong font on XP shutdown window
When trying to shutdown Windows XP using Start --> Shutdown, you become the windows wtith 3 options: Standby, Shutdown, Restart.
On the top of this windows there is normally a text displayed.
On my machine this text is dispalyed as graphicals drawings (see attachment).
As far as I can see all Windows fonts are available.
Does anyone known how to fix this issue?

did you try system restore?
According to the advise of war1, you shall try the following:-
Run the system file checker for corrupt or missing file. Go to Start > Run and type
sfc /scannow
If no joy, perform a system restore.
If still no joy, perform a repair install

This I think a virus affecting the logonui.exe try scanning full scan if you have antivirus installed on your PC
1. Open notepad -> copy the code below and paste it in notepad -> save as a file called defaultfont.reg in your hard drive.
2. Double click defaultfont.reg
3. Reboot XP to see whether the wrong font has gone
