This issue has appeared several times recently. It looks like the default font on Windows 
is not properly detected.

There are two options to work around this:
1. Open "Select Theme" from the start menu (or whatever this is under Windows 8) and 
choose a default font there. GnuCash will pick it up.

2. In gnucash you can also edit the stylesheet for your report via
Edit->Style Sheets and select other fonts there.
