I finally zeroed in on fonts being a possible issue and remembered that I had played with Font Book last night and disabled some fonts that I had duplicates of. One of these fonts was Helvetica Neue, which I realize now is one of the system fonts. Apparently many OS X apps rely on these fonts to operate. Enabling them with Font Book solved the problem.
[robg adds: This is related to a prior hint on problems caused by using Font Book's Resolve Duplicates feature. In both cases, a system font was disabled, leading to widespread system issues.]
