I just wanted to point out that since .gif is a compressed image format (and probably uses the same LZW compression as zip?) there is not much point in compressing a gif image. In this case the compressed image is actually larger than the gif. This may be partly because of the mysterious "__MACOSX/" empty directory, which was created on unzipping the file, so must have been in .zip archive.

If not compressed, the .gif would have shown up inline with the message in my mail client. Ed Iain Kerr wrote:
Dear all, I was wondering if anyone knows the reason for the difference in fonts in the attached (compressed) image. On the left is CCP4i on Mac Tiger and on the right CCP4i on Leopard (my current OS, same version of CCP4 in both). The fonts in the job list on the right are, comparably, pretty grim..at least to me. Both interfaces are set to use adobe helvetica and courier fonts (medium). So, I'm assuming the image on the right lacks one of the fonts or is unable to see it on my system. Any ideas on how to set the interface on the RHS to look like that on the left ? An old post suggested that the lack of the adobe-fonts package on Mac OSX may present a font problem with the GUI but I've been unable to find out how to install the package (if this is indeed the problem). Thanks in advance, Iain
