Rex, I agree that the bytecode interpreter does change the look of the fonts dramatically. When I first logged in with the new free type I said WTF... but after a couple of days of using it. I have gotten used to it. I do think my Wine apps look very good, better than on XP. Fonts I am using and yes I have a license for them Bitstream Vera Sans Arial MS Sans Serif Tms Rmn lower e's and c's and y's are kinda crufty Kevin
