Mark -
My suggestion is first to examine
(TextStyle named: 'Ypatia') defaultFont fontDisplay.
If only one thing looks wrong, I would go after it with the various widthOf:, edit:, etc. methods available. I sure don't know what caused the problem. Also, naturally, inspect the font to check that minAscii, maxAscii, etc are reasonable.
Good luck
