It took some ditzing around, but I've got the fonts in Windows set up to where it's usable, though not always comfortable. But I get so much less eyestrain running with more pixels but the fonts the same physical size that I put up with it when I'm forced to. It really hacks me off after my experience in OS/2, where virtually every font in the system and the programs I used was configurable. None of this stupid "we know how your screen should look" ego I have to put up with from the Redmond camp. It takes even longer to get most of the Linux UIs/WMs configured to my taste, but I've been able to do it much more thoroughly than Windows and it's crap. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
