Not sure. On my system, the console output is the same, but the "bar" appears as a solid black box of the right size (that is, 124 points). It is a strange set of results. "MS Shell Dlg 2" is a fake font name that remaps to a real font depending on your operating system and locale. 74 (0x4A) indicates a vector TrueType font of the "script" family, which is bizarre. May I suggest that you set your own default font before beginning? -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
