Actually I seem to have tracked down the problem, or at least found a 
good workaround.  It doesn't seem to like the font I had selected for 
a monospace font.  I think it was getting confused, as I had several 
different types of fonts with the same name installed.  I changed to 
a different monospace font, that I only have a TTF version of, and 
it's working just fine.
