Very strange bug appeared out of nowhere!

Hi. I've been running Leopard happily for a few months. Today I encountered a strange bug. All the "circles" with numbers in are larger than before, and I can't make bold text with command+b in any cocoa-application.

Hard to explain, so I've attached some pictures:

I'm not sure that these two are related, but they started at the same time. Anyone know what it might be? I've tried restarting, did not help.
 
Which fonts might it be? And how would I check if they are corrupted? Just replace the fontfiles with backups (has another leopard-install on an external drive), and then restart?
 
I think the program Font Book (in your Apps or Utilities folder?) can test them for you. But yeah, I guess you could just re-install them and reboot...

The other thing to try is to temporarily create a new user account (you can delete it later) and log into that account. If you don't have this behavior there, then it's some corrupted user preference or something like that, and not a system resource like a font.
 
I have that exact same problem! It started a few days ago out of nowhere and I don't know what to do about it. It's quite ugly.
