May I suggest going into <system><administration><software updates> and 
seeing how many updates there are.
install them all or ones you think are needed and see if the problem 
goes away.
I had that problem because  some kanji or kohni font or what ever it was 
wasn't installed. I will never use the offending font.
I let it install and the problem hasn't recurred.
