Hmmm...loading Netscape ok what version are you using? I am running xfstt from slink (truth be told I am running an xfstt that is NOT YET in slink...I am still working on it...but...it is essentially the same as the slink one... no major changes) I changed my fixed width font to courier new (I was using courier adobe before) and it seems to work. The "Size:" dropdown box does not work this is because TrueType fonts are truely scaleable...they do not come in any pre-defined sizes. You should notice "allow scaling" is greyed out and selected. There is a text entry box next to it (under the drop box) Type in the size you want there. It worked fine for me. When I first changed the font was way too big...so I went into prefs->fonts and typed in "9" as the size in that text box...then hit OK it looks great. > I really need to the monospace font (I use "courier new") down, because > it's far too big.

Does it work? if not..what version of Netscape are you using communicator 4.04 ...it also works with latest mozilla in slink -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "All authority is quite degrading." -- Oscar Wilde
