SetFont 2.0 was the cause of many strange GURUs for several people.
Do you run it in your startup-sequence or your shell-startup? I've seen
it cause programs like DPaint, DMCS, and Director to crash in strange
ways on exit.

If the problem is SetFont related try to get SetFont 2.5. (I believe
you also get source in C++ as a bonus!)
