To begin with, I figured that between the screen font and MEMOWIDTH settings, I probably had the key(s) to the answer, and I excitedly checked it. Anyway, thanks for the tips regarding these settings. However, have you got any other ideas about what might be causing my problem at hand? TIA.

Yes, Arial font on both machines in same point size and style (no Bold, no It, No Und). Both machines are running at the same video res. I'm not sure about number colors, or if the video cards are the same. I doubt they are. At this point, I'll probably just work around it instead of investing that much more time in it. It's not important enough to me unless there is something which will implement the change quickly (like if it would have been as simple as screen font). I'll look for the LS file. Thanks.
