At first I thought it could be a problem with the font, but I'm also seeing the same problem in the Blend 4 beta:

Blend

I'm running XP SP3, Visual Studio 2010 Professional and everything's as up to date as it can be. I'm not noticing any such problems with Silverlight 4 apps I have built on the same machine... Anyone else seen this or know why it's happening?
