which has the advantage of eliminating gaps between glyphs
(font size 11-12).

<"0 i.3 4
Box Drawing in Safari

around size 12 is good, though size 13 may produce misalignment.

Subject: [Jbeta] Unicode and Box Drawing font for Mac
There is a nice font called DejaVu Sans Mono.
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/
It looks better than the standard Monaco and far better
than Courier New with optimal sizes of 11-13.
It is based on Bitstream Vera fonts known in the
Open Source world, and extended to include
natioanal Unicode and Box Drawing characters.
Procedure to install
- download the zip file
- extract font files, one is enough: DejaVuSansMono.ttf (the fixed pitch
regular)
- Install (drag to /Users/user/Library/Fonts/ or double-clik and choose Install)
- Exist J, Run J again
- Select the font in Configure dialog
- Exist J, Run J again
- try <"0 i.3 4
Note: naturally some hierogliphics and box drawing
do not mix well, as the former may come from a different font.

Subject: [Jbeta] J601 pbeta available for Mac
The p beta for Mac (darwin) is available at:
http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j601pbeta_darwin.tar.gz
Most problems discussed in the forum have been addressed.
The command key now runs the menu shortcuts.
All platforms except for the Mac now have nice box draw characters.
There isn't a standard fixed pitch font with box draw characters in a
standard Mac OSX install. Can anyone provide information on a proper
font that can be easily and freely downloaded that will work on the Mac?
