I've tried what you recommend, but for some reason, my version of AW 6 (6.2.9, actually) doesn't seem to have the Box to check that says "actual fonts" under preferences. It has four options - font smoothing, font spacing and two others, but not actual fonts. The weird part of all this is that the AW 6 on OS 9 does display the fonts as they actually appear. Yet this version, also, doesn't have an "actual fonts" box to check under preferences. And I still have no idea how it got that way or how to change it one way or the other. In desperation I've telephoned and even faxed AppleWorks Users Group to see if they can provide me with an answer to this dilemma. No response, so far. I suspect they've gone away for the weekend so I'll have to wait until Monday.. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
