David,
It is really hard to diagnose something like this at a distance, but I have some questions that might help find a solution. (I have the SPIonic font installed on my WinXP based system and it works fine in Word 2003.)
1. The problem started in March? Did you just start using this WinXP system in March, or were you able to read SPIonic text on this system before March?
2. If you just started using this system in March, is the SPIonic font installed on this system? SPIonic doesn't come with WinXP, you have to load it separately.
3. If you were successfully using this WinXP system before March, did you make any major changes to your system around March?
Hope this is helps,
