Well, I too had been assuming the problem was somehow font-related, but in
my case the culprit was ROOL's WimpSA module (downloadable as 'NewWimp'
about a year ago, which I presume is where I got it from). This module
extends the Window Manager to allow solid icons (ie without transparent
pixels) to be used for the window tools. And it's been fixed since I
downloaded it.
But thanks to the those who tried to help.
