OK - I found the problem - make sure that you have the correct fonts in BOTH the
following directories:

<website-directory>/t3lib/fonts
<website-directory>/typo3/t3lib/fonts

The required fonts being:

arial.ttf
nimbus.ttf
vera.ttf
verdana.ttf     (the install-tool will check for this specific TTF file)

Sorry to have thought that RC2 may have an issue, where it really was a user
mistake, when installing the new tgz package onto a Windows system (i.e. no
links) -- even though I followed the specific Windows upgrade/install
instructions from the docs, I overlooked that directory.
