Yes, free time is precious. We better spend it wisely, which sometimes 
means we have to shift priorities. I do miss your translation 
contributions though :) And that is meant as an expression of gratitude, 
not as a way to put pressure on you !

I have just downloaded and installed the current release on my Windows 
XP test machine. It displays fine here...

Did you in the past change the default theme/font ?
Do you have a .gtkrc-2.0 file in
c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\

If so, what happens if you move it out of the way and restart gnucash ?
