anyone who runs mathematica on a system with a lot of fonts (like if you run a TT font server) will run into this problem. here's the fix. pete ps- yes, at 4779 i am a "font freak".

You can ratchet this number up by editing the file Specific.tr in <path to Mathematica installation>/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X Locate the following lines in that file: @@resource maxForXListFonts 2000 Change the number 2000 to something larger like 5300 and restart the front end. Let me know if that makes the problem go away. -- P.J. Hinton User Interface Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wolfram Research, Inc.
