BTW, when I built and started using the new code, I found that this choice of default fixed font was significantly different from what "fixed" used to be on all of my systems. The menus started being ridiculously tiny. Fortunately, the new code allowed me to change it pretty easily, but that was a bit of a surprise after years of having the menus be readable by default. I had to push the font size up to 14 point just to be able to get it back to what it had been before these changes so I could read the screen without my reading glasses. Pity that some systems aren't providing a reliable and unique meaning for "fixed." -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.
