I'm on a Linux box (I'm assuming you're on Windows, since you mentioned 
Process Explorer), and I wasn't able to find any file handle "leaks", as 
such, but I did see that font files were being opened many more times 
than they need to be.

If you're able to run from Subversion, r4633 has a fix for this.  I'm 
curious if it fixes your symptoms.

Cheers,
Mike
