I suspect this a system font problem. The CSS font-family setting in JHS is currently set as: Courier new, courier, monospace Assuming your system doesn't have "courier new" or courier it will default to the font specified for use as monospace. You should be able to change this setting in your browser to see if there are other fonts on your system that work better. Altering the current JHS CSS font-family setting to add another alternative font before "monospace" might be worthwhile if this affects enough users and there is a common font on these systems that does work ok. > Another bug: > Trying to switch to ascii +-| box chars as stated in the help page > isn't possible, either: jbd refers to a missing noun BOXES_j_. I can confirm that the jbd definition appears to be out-of-date with the latest base system. BOXES_j_ is now called Boxes_j_. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
