Fonts seem to be a problem resizing, relizing it is in developement I am anxious to see how the mail works. It does seem faster loading itself but I see no difference in speed on browsing as compared to Konqueror. However Konqueror can't load some pages with different links, it leaves some images blank. So, I will hold off judgement and hope Phoenix is the right replacement for my tastes. Choices are wonderful. -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842
