Another problem with Gill Sans is that Lotus Smartsuite shipped with some that don't work right. Here are samples from the system font palette: Condensed: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/font-gillsanscond.jpg Normal: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/font-gillsansnorm-good.jpg Ultra Bold: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/font-gillsansubld.jpg WordPro can use them properly, but Gecko won't. If all three are installed, ultra bold is what Gecko always uses if roman is requested. If you uninstall ultra bold, then Gecko will use condensed. Gecko will only use normal if the other two are removed from the system. That can produce some rather strange looking pages: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/font-gillsans-fawny-sm101Eplus120.jpg Test page: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/font-gillsans.html -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
