Try removing that font from your !Fonts directory. If that solves the problem it means that something is amiss with the font. Having scanned the fonts when it is first run, NetSurf stores the result in !Scrap. Thus, to avoid font-scanning at every start-up, !Scrap should not be kept in a RAMdisc. After the fonts have been scanned, NetSurf normally loads in about ten seconds, on a SARPC. Tony
