Win 2000 display font is wrong under normal user but ok under Poweruser. Why?

A graphic in a building automation program displays text with the correct font when I log in as poweruser but not when I am a normal user. They tried changing the directory permissions in the normal user to match the poweruser ones and it didn't correct it. Any ideas?
 
Win2K "Users" cannot modify the registry in any way ... not even their own registry.

For some reason MS made the "Power User" in Win2K the equivalent of a "User" in NT4. Win2K's "User" is barely more capable than "Guest."

So, if you make any accounts on your Win2K box, you should make them "Power User" accounts. Otherwise, simple stuff like IE, Netscape, or even Notepad may not even run.

Well this is a work machine which means I only get admin when I need to do something that requires it. Right now we are still figuring out how to run the building automation software on Win2k. I have a local account so I can run the building automation software when the server is shut down. The local account is a poweruser. So I only have a network user account, unless they find down the testing road they have to give me a poweruser account for logging on the network server. So I was trying to find out if it's just some setting that can be changed in the user account. Maybe not or might be too hard to figure out.
