I actually got it straightened out. The problem was in both viewers and with both odd and even quotes. I changed the font size to something crazy (like 20 point), saved it, then changed it back to what I wanted and it stuck. Apparently when I tried that earlier I didn't save it and then go back. No idea why I had to go through all that foolishness, but it's fixed now.

Font Problem
After using TB for so many years, I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question because I should know how to fix it. After a major hard drive crash and reinstalling WinXP , I now have a minor problem with how messages are displayed. Any messages with a quote in them have the quote displayed in a small font size. (I generally use Lucinda Console in size 12, but the quoted portions look like size 8 or 6.) This is disconcerting to me and I'd like to have everything in the same size font. How can I fix this? -- Running The Bat! version 3.98.4 under Windows XP Current version is 3.98.04 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi there! On 2 Feb 00, at 22:24, Allie Martin wrote about "Font Problem": WCP is the second font that I've used which doesn't appear whenever I'm composing new messages. Sometimes when replying to some messages (I can't seem to detect the pattern), I don't get it to use as well. Courier New appears in its place. Reading all messages is fine in that they appear as they should in WCP. Okay, let me try;-) I'm not sure that my guess is right, but anyhow, something is needed to begin with;-) Consider you get a message in Russian (here's one: òïóóéñ -- it's how Russia is written in Russian;-)). Then the headers of this message very probably state: charset="koi8-r". Now try to reply to this message. What charset TB will use for reply? Yeah, it will use koi8-r, unless you explicitely change it via the options. Now the question: why should TB use koi8-r for replying to a message that is written in koi8-r? Explanation is simple indeed: TB needs to ensure, that the 8-bit text looks (when quoted by you) to you the same way it looked to me when _I_ composed my message. _If_ TB used another charset for reply, say, ISO- 8859-9 (it's Turkish), it would imply, that your reply should have been shown by TB using another font script (in this case, Turkish, since in X-LAT tables it's set up as the font script used with Turkish encoding). To understand what I mean clearly, just start composing a reply to this message and then manually change the encoding used (right-click the corresponding area of statusbar and select Western, for example). Now compare how the word òïóóéñ looked like when you viewed my message and how it looks like now, after you have switched the encoding. The reason is that TB has switched the font script used in the message editor when you changed the charset. Now I'll try to answer your initial question. When you're replying to the message in Russian (i.e. the message which is koi8-r-encoded), TB, following the logic described above, needs to change the font script used in the message editor to Cyrillic (used for Russian). What will happen if the font you're using doesn't support the Cyrillic script? Clearly, that's a problem for TB;-) I think, TB will just temporarily switch to the font that supposedly supports the Cyrillic script. This means, Courier New. Another strange thing is that whenever I open automated replies, they are in WCP font. When I opened this message in the Outbox, it was in Courier New. Any ideas why that would happen and any suggested work arounds? I like font consistency and dislike courier new intensely. -- SY, Alex (St.Petersburg, Russia) http://mph.phys.spbu.ru/~akiselev --- Thought for the day: A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never sure. --- PGP public keys on keyservers: 0xA2194BF9 (RSA); 0x214135A2 (DH/DSS) fingerprints: F222 4AEF EC9F 5FA6 7515 910A 2429 9CB1 (RSA) A677 81C9 48CF 16D1 B589 9D33 E7D5 675F 2141 35A2 (DH/DSS) --- -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --
