Brian,
If normal text works in any other layout, Then yes it sounds like the file has been corrupted or possibly the engraving program, or font.
It is easy enough to reload these programs (egmenu, fonts) however what I would recommend is first copy egmenu.exe back onto to the hard drive. Try tis first if the problem still exists then go to your font folder re-name the font you are using from RB.FON to RB.BAD then copy a new RB.fon into the font directory.
Do not just erase the font and copy it back on if the hard drive has a sector problem where that font is once you copy the font back onto the hard disk is overwrites in the same area. So just rename and leave the font where it is then copy a new one it will then place it into a different section on the hard disk.
If this does not work then you may have to redo the entire layout.
This might be an indication of a hard drive starting to give you some problems you may want to consider doing a backup.
One other thing that is very possible is the temp directory is getting full you should dump the temp directory contents maybe do a disk clean-up defrag etc. Do a backup first.
I have to go set-up for the ISS show in Long Beach Today and work the show tomorrow through Sunday so I won't be able to respond until Monday (possibly later today).
Let me know

Until someone who knows the answer posts, I'll give you a gut feeling. It appears that the program is interpreting that set of keystrokes one way for the screen, and thinking it is a left-justify command when sending it to the engraver.
Slim chance it may be a communications problem from the computer to the engraver. Power off, remove the cables between the computer and engraver and reattach them twice. That will clean all those contacts and has a faint chance of being successful.
