Carlo,

I've not been able to run the GUI for a couple of weeks now.  When I tried it 
today, it runs again.  Fonts display nicely.  The only problem I see is that 
opening a file in the editor causes Octave to abort.  In any event, things are 
getting better.

In the event, anyone is interested in the crash log, I've attached it.
