Excellent suggestion IMHO. > but then Dingbats and symbol fonts are totally unrecognisable ! These fonts will require a bit more of care, yes. The fonts that don't have the glyphs need to render their name, should be rendered with another font (the sans serif default) and render a few of their glyphs next to its name. It's still better than Marc's work (which is much better than our previous behaviour), because with the Word 2000 you don't have to go until the font name to see how it looks. You can see how all fonts looks immediately. Cheers, -- Joaqu�n Cuenca Abela [EMAIL PROTECTED]
