That's a nice idea. I'll see how simple it is to implement. > - quick selection of a few fonts (or toggle monospace<->variable width) I figure if you want monospace fonts you're probably better off with less in the terminal. This is focused on reading essays and the like. > - a small scrollbar to indicate position The window title indicates position (percent through the text), which I prefer to a scrollbar, and it's less code. > - make text width adjustable at runtime It will shrink according to the window size, it will just never increase above the max width (which is roughly 60 characters). Which I like for text. Thanks again. Oh, and if anyone here is unfamiliar with tcl/tk, take a look at this and you'll get a glimpse of how great it is :) Nick
