Thank you both for the suggestions. The look and feel was already set to Metal when I checked. I also tried CDE/Motif to no avail. But it was a good idea.

We tried it on a Linux machine and the same version of Artemis ran fine locally, but was 'broken' when running with its own X-terminal. I BCC'd my first message to tech support, and he thought I was pestering him again; here is his reply: : In a word - NO. It is a bug in the Artemis code. Note it can be installed under : Windows locally. As you say this is definitely an X-remote problem. We saw : this running the version on Helen when displaying on a machine running exactly : the same o/s with a "proper" X server, To be slightly more technically correct, if it is a bug in the X display, it fails identically in two independent systems. The more likely explanation is I think that the display that Artemis generates doesn't space out the letters when outputting to an X-window.

Artemis 12 (since 11 I believe) comes with themes (Option > Look and Feel), which can be set from the main window. When you use the NIMBUS/GTK+ theme, the base view "bases" would seem to justify to the left, not arranged to three-bases=one-amino-acid as it is suppose to be (it is most useful that way). This is because these themes uses non-monospace fonts, which does not give every character equal space in visualization space. Try changing the Look and Feel to Metal or CDE/Motif. You will have to close the artemis viewer and re-load the sequence file. If your default Look and Feel is already Metal (I believe Artemis is shipped so), then I expect you're not having the problem I have in mind.

We recently had to change hardware from some very old legacy machines, and installed a new version of artemis on the replacement. Artemis is version 12.0 running on Bio-Linux When we use this remotely, on Windows running eXceed or on a unix system, the text in the base view panel is not formatted correctly - it is all left-justified. (This is also the case in the top panel if zoomed in.) Obviously this makes Artemis unfit for many purposes, including much of what I'd like to use it for. The issue seems to be with accessing it remotely with X windows. Can this be fixed? I can supply a screenshot if it helps.
