Load David Ponce's tabbar.el. I'm using this revision, which
AFAIK is the latest:

(defconst tabbar-version "1.3")
M-x tabbar-mode
The characters in the tabs are bad now. See attached images - the good
one is from a build of 2008-07-26; the bad one is from a build of
2008-08-01.

Thanks for your extra information. I think this is related to the fact
that the Uniscribe font backend can only use opentype and truetype
fonts, but Windows by default defines font substitutions for Helvetica
and Times to map to the Truetype fonts "Arial" and "Times New Roman". So
the uniscribe backend picks these substitutes up, but somehow things get
confused so the Type-1 fonts end up being loaded. I've added some code
to specifically reject these substitutes, which are detected by
comparing the font's "full name" with the name used to load it.
Unfortunately this also catches many legitimate fonts, so I've had to
pick out these two specific problematic substitutions. If there are any
other specific fonts that cause this problem, then we will need to add
rules for them too.
