I also experience it from time to time. It's probably a bug in gv (or gs). I'm
using debian sarge, and gv 3.5.8-31, gs 7.07-1.
I think what happens is that gv forgets some of its font symbols, so they are
not displayed.
The problem started occuring for me very soon after \include "paper*" was
changed to set-global-staff-size, so I think this has something to do with
it.
