Some widgets seem to get bold randomly, both plain text captions and radio buttons. I am stuck .... Anti-aliasing not working properly ? - I'm still using font size 8. I expected this display bug could be font related since the program uses Tahoma on XP and the new Segoe UI on Vista. But the same behaviour - broken-looking fonts - could be replicated with the plain oldish Arial font.

Are you running with the latest VFP9 hotfix installed? If so, VERSION() should report 09.00.0000.7423
