Bill, two years ago I wrote a FontChooser helper-dialog utility specialized for J font format.
http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/beta/2006-September/002100.html Please follow this link and allow it to run as an applet from the browser. Click on [Choose Font] button and select the font/size/style combination that pleases you most. Select [OK] as it will apply the font. Then practice in the text are to make sure it's what you want. Post back the selected font parameters. Also paste those font parameters into the config file manually and restart J. See if that works for you. The FontChooser matches the update in Jwdp for font size represented in points rather than pixels as earlier. However, some of Jwdp and/or scripts may still have values in the old pixels. > From: Bill Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Chris Burke writes: > > > As regards the domain error, what is the value of SYSTEMFOLDERS and > > USERFOLDERS?
