I think I have to agree with you on this one, I know I am being a little strict about this one issue, it just happens to matter a whole lot to me. Second to Bbedit, I spend most of my time in E-rage. Its this contrast of toggling from a font view in Bbedit then back to E-rage that just announces to me that something is not how I want it :-) I will try a few other fonts and hopefully come to some semi-happy medium. However, I know there are some who will feel as strong about this as I, I even think that Dan Crevier, whom I assume is a developer feels almost similar, since he mentioned that he spend quite some time trying to resolve this as well. I am not fully convinced it can not be remedied, there are too many modern OS X apps that do not have this issue, I can not see that E-rage is the only one that has adopted ATSUI. > I mean we're not talking about functionality here, nor anything that can't > be adjusted (unless someone keeps sending you HTML messages in Monaco 9, > which is not very likely).

I tend to agree, for most it is has nothing to do with functionality, for me it certainly does :-) I am yet to find something in E-rage I could not work around or script around, this just happens to be one of those "things" with me. I am sure I will live. :-) If there are 2000 or so improvements to Office 2004, I was wondering, can someone shed some light on what is improved in E-rage specifically? I don't use the other parts of Office 2004 other than the really occasional copy and paste from Word or Excel. I am in no way trying to diminish the efforts of E-rage, I really think I must be missing some of the grander features, in my limited one day use of E-rage 2004, other than the Project Management and the addition of a new way of viewing stuff via grouping, I can not seem to find anything that screams out "wow" to me. I am sure I just have not had the time to locate all the little bells and whistles, perhaps you can share with me some of the new things you really like. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 http://www.newgeo.com Fax: 313.557.5052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novato, CA U.S.A. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
