Some programs won't run if the proper font isn't here. Like all things in /System leave them the <bleep> alone. OS X is NOT OS 9, not only is there no need to get into the system and futz, doing so can really screw things up. The best advice I can suggest for the recently migrated is hands off until you learn the new organization, and resist the urge to 'fine tune' things..it will be like a confident VW Bug home mechanic trying to tune an old Ferrari with 6 two barrel carbs...You will soon be in over your head and messing things up. >> ------------------ Definitely heed Bruces' advice. Us migrators just have the urge to futz around and usually "untune" things in the process. However, any old-time home auto mechanics can probably fine tune 6 two barrel carbs in any old car -- but these new autos with electronic fuel injection and the latest autotronics is another beast -- like OS X as the analogy goes. I suppose I will be seeing the analogy police shortly :-). Oh, and fonts in OS X -- I just started to get control my 1000s of fonts in OS 9 with Suitcase. Fonts are a big problem for me in OS X.--glen (digested) -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
