Aha! As you suggest variable-pitch-mode isn't being set. Doing an "M-x 
variable-pitch-mode" sets the font correctly. So either text-mode-hook 
isn't being called, or something is resetting it.

Just had a look through my .emacs and I was using text-mode-hook later 
on to turn on autofill. So problem solved, thanks very much for your help.

Ian.
